Psalms 70

1 Hasten, O God, to deliver me. Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory. Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

2 Let them be put to shame and confounded who seek after my soul. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

3 Let them be turned back because of their shame who say, Aha, aha.

Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

4 Let all those who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee. And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

5 But I am poor and needy. Make haste to me, O God. Thou are my help and my deliverer, O Jehovah. Delay thou not.

But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.
