Psalms 70

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

לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד לְהַזְכִּֽיר׃ אֱלֹהִים לְהַצִּילֵנִי יְהוָה לְעֶזְרָתִי חֽוּשָֽׁה׃

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

יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי יִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר וְיִכָּלְמוּ חֲפֵצֵי רָעָתִֽי׃

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

יָשׁוּבוּ עַל־עֵקֶב בָּשְׁתָּם הָאֹמְרִים הֶאָח ׀ הֶאָֽח׃

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

יָשִׂישׂוּ וְיִשְׂמְחוּ ׀ בְּךָ כָּֽל־מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ וְיֹאמְרוּ תָמִיד יִגְדַּל אֱלֹהִים אֹהֲבֵי יְשׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃

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

וַאֲנִי ׀ עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אֱלֹהִים חֽוּשָׁה־לִּי עֶזְרִי וּמְפַלְטִי אַתָּה יְהוָה אַל־תְּאַחַֽר׃
