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.

For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

2 Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

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.

May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

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.

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

5 But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.

But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
