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.

“To the chief musician, by David, to bring to remembrance.” O God, [arise] to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to 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.

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 Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

Let them be turned backward in consequence of their shame, that say, Aha, aha.

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.

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 in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.

But I am poor and needy, O God: come hastily unto me; my help and my deliverer art thou: O Lord, do not delay.
