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 music director. A psalm of David. For a memorial. God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!

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

Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.

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 they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.

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.

But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”

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

As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!
