Psalms 70

1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David, in remembrance that the Lord had saved him. O God, reach out to help me. O Lord, hasten to assist me.

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

2 May those who seek my soul be confounded and awed.

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

3 May those who wish evils upon me be turned back and blush with shame. May they be turned away immediately, blushing with shame, who say to me: “Well, well.”

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

4 Let all who seek you exult and rejoice in you, and let those who love your salvation forever say: “The Lord be magnified.”

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

5 I am truly destitute and poor. O God, assist me. You are my helper and my deliverer. O Lord, do not delay.

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