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.

Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him. O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.

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

Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:

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 be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: Tis well, tis well.

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 rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord 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 needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
