Psalms 70

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

Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Yhwh.

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 confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

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

Let them be turned back for a reward 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: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Yhwh, make no tarrying.
