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, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste.

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 Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, '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, haste to me, My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!
