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

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

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

Let them be turned backward in consequence 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, God is great.

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: come hastily unto me; my help and my deliverer art thou: O Lord, do not delay.
