< Psalms 70 >
1 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David; to bring to remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.
For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!
2 Let them be put to shame and confounded That seek after my soul: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.
May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.
3 Let them be turned back by reason of their shame That say, Aha, aha.
May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.
4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”
5 But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, make no tarrying.
But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
