< Psalms 70 >

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. For a memorial. God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!
لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ. لِدَاوُدَ لِلتَّذْكِيرِ اَللَّهُمَّ، إِلَى تَنْجِيَتِي. يَارَبُّ، إِلَى مَعُونَتِي أَسْرِعْ.١
2 Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.
لِيَخْزَ وَيَخْجَلْ طَالِبُو نَفْسِي. لِيَرْتَدَّ إِلَى خَلْفٍ وَيَخْجَلِ ٱلْمُشْتَهُونَ لِي شَرًّا.٢
3 May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.
لِيَرْجِعْ مِنْ أَجْلِ خِزْيِهِمُ ٱلْقَائِلُونَ: «هَهْ! هَهْ!».٣
4 But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”
وَلْيَبْتَهِجْ وَيَفْرَحْ بِكَ كُلُّ طَالِبِيكَ، وَلْيَقُلْ دَائِمًا مُحِبُّو خَلَاصِكَ: «لِيَتَعَظَّمِ ٱلرَّبُّ».٤
5 As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!
أَمَّا أَنَا فَمِسْكِينٌ وَفَقِيرٌ. اَللَّهُمَّ، أَسْرِعْ إِلَيَّ. مُعِينِي وَمُنْقِذِي أَنْتَ. يَارَبُّ، لَا تَبْطُؤْ.٥
