Psalms 70

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

For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David; to bring to remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

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

Let them be put to shame and confounded That seek after my soul: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.

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

Let them be turned back by reason of their shame That say, Aha, aha.

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

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

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

But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, make no tarrying.
