Psalms 70

1 For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, [hasten] to my help.

2 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

3 May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!

4 May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “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, Let God be magnified!

5 But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.

But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.
