Psalms 70

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David; to make memorial. O God, to deliver me, O LORD, to help me, make haste.

For the chief musician. A psalm of David; to bring to remembrance. Save me, God! Yahweh, come quickly and help me.

2 Let them be ashamed and abashed that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.

Let those who try to take my life be ashamed and humiliated; let them be turned back and brought to dishonor, those who take pleasure in my pain.

3 Let them be turned back by reason of their shame that say: 'Aha, aha.'

Let them be turned back because of their shame, those who say, “Aha, aha.”

4 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.'

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let those who love your salvation always say, “May God be praised.”

5 But I am poor and needy; O God, make haste unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, tarry not.

But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, God; you are my help and you rescue me. Yahweh, do not delay.
