Psalms 70

1 To him excelleth. A Psalme of David to put in remembrance. O God, haste thee to deliuer mee: make haste to helpe me, O Lord.

TO THE OVERSEER. BY DAVID. “TO CAUSE TO REMEMBER.” O God, [hurry] to deliver me, O YHWH, hurry to help me.

2 Let them be confounded and put to shame, that seeke my soule: let them bee turned backewarde and put to rebuke, that desire mine hurt.

Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.

3 Let them be turned backe for a rewarde of their shame, which said, Aha, aha.

Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, “Aha, aha.”

4 But let all those that seeke thee, be ioyfull and glad in thee, and let all that loue thy saluation, say alwaies, God be praised.

Let all those seeking You rejoice and be glad in You, And let those loving Your salvation Continually say, “God is magnified.”

5 Nowe I am poore and needie: O God, make haste to me: thou art mine helper, and my deliuerer: O Lord, make no tarying.

And I [am] poor and needy, O God, hurry to me, You [are] my help and my deliverer, O YHWH, do not linger!
