Psalms 70

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

For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me. Draw near, O God, to my help.

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 ashamed and confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.

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

Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.

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 that seek you exult and be glad in you: and let those that love your 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; O God, help me: you are my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.
