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 leader. Of David. For commemoration. Quickly, God, deliver me, hasten to help me, Lord.

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

May those who are seeking my life, be ashamed and confounded.

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 delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonour.

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 all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all who love your salvation say, ‘Glory to God,’ evermore.

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

I am weak and needy: make haste, God, to me. You are my help and deliverer; Lord, don’t delay.
