< Psalms 70 >

1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory. Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.
For the music director. A psalm of David. For a memorial. God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!
2 Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.
Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.
3 Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.
May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.
4 Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.
But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”
5 But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.
As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!
