Psalms 70

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

For the Leader. A Psalm of David; to make memorial. O God, to deliver me, O LORD, to help me, make haste.

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 abashed that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.

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

Let them be turned back by reason 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 rejoice and be glad 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 poor and needy; O God, make haste unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, tarry not.
