< Psalms 70 >

1 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.
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِدَاوُدَ لِلتَّذْكِيرِ اَللَّهُمَّ، إِلَى تَنْجِيَتِي. يَارَبُّ، إِلَى مَعُونَتِي أَسْرِعْ.١
2 Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:
لِيَخْزَ وَيَخْجَلْ طَالِبُو نَفْسِي. لِيَرْتَدَّ إِلَى خَلْفٍ وَيَخْجَلِ ٱلْمُشْتَهُونَ لِي شَرًّا.٢
3 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.
لِيَرْجِعْ مِنْ أَجْلِ خِزْيِهِمُ ٱلْقَائِلُونَ: «هَهْ! هَهْ!».٣
4 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
وَلْيَبْتَهِجْ وَيَفْرَحْ بِكَ كُلُّ طَالِبِيكَ، وَلْيَقُلْ دَائِمًا مُحِبُّو خَلَاصِكَ: «لِيَتَعَظَّمِ ٱلرَّبُّ».٤
5 But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِسْكِينٌ وَفَقِيرٌ. اَللَّهُمَّ، أَسْرِعْ إِلَيَّ. مُعِينِي وَمُنْقِذِي أَنْتَ. يَارَبُّ، لَا تَبْطُؤْ.٥
