Psalms 70

1 For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me. Draw nigh, O God, to my help.

TO THE OVERSEER. BY DAVID. “TO CAUSE TO REMEMBER.” O God, [hurry] to deliver me, O YHWH, hurry to help me.

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.

Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.

3 Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.

Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, “Aha, aha.”

4 Let all that seek thee exult and be glad in thee: and let those that love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

Let all those seeking You rejoice and be glad in You, And let those loving Your salvation Continually say, “God is magnified.”

5 But I am poor and needy; O God, help me: thou art my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.

And I [am] poor and needy, O God, hurry to me, You [are] my help and my deliverer, O YHWH, do not linger!
