Psalms 70

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

“To the chief musician, by David, to bring to remembrance.” O God, [arise] to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me.

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 that seek after my life be made ashamed and put to the blush: let those that desire my unhappiness be turned backward and put to confusion.

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

Let them be turned backward in consequence of their shame, that say, Aha, aha.

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 that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, God is 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 needy, O God: come hastily unto me; my help and my deliverer art thou: O Lord, do not delay.
