Psalms 70

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

For the leader. Of David. For commemoration. Quickly, God, deliver me, hasten to help me, Lord.

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

May those who are seeking my life, be ashamed and confounded.

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

May those who delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonor.

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

But may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all who love your salvation say, “Glory to God,” evermore.

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

I am weak and needy: make haste, God, to me. You are my help and deliverer; Lord, don’t delay.
