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.

To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory. Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

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

Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

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.

Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward 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.

Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

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 in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.
