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.

לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד לְהַזְכִּֽיר׃ אֱלֹהִים לְהַצִּילֵנִי יְהוָה לְעֶזְרָתִי חֽוּשָֽׁה׃

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

יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי יִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר וְיִכָּלְמוּ חֲפֵצֵי רָעָתִֽי׃

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.

יָשׁוּבוּ עַל־עֵקֶב בָּשְׁתָּם הָאֹמְרִים הֶאָח ׀ הֶאָֽח׃

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.

יָשִׂישׂוּ וְיִשְׂמְחוּ ׀ בְּךָ כָּֽל־מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ וְיֹאמְרוּ תָמִיד יִגְדַּל אֱלֹהִים אֹהֲבֵי יְשׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃

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

וַאֲנִי ׀ עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אֱלֹהִים חֽוּשָׁה־לִּי עֶזְרִי וּמְפַלְטִי אַתָּה יְהוָה אַל־תְּאַחַֽר׃
