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.

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

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

Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my 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 turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, “Aha, aha.”

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

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

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