Psalms 70

1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

[For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder.] Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, LORD.

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

Let them be put to shame and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

Let them be turned back because of their shame who say to me, "Aha. Aha."

4 Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: and let such as love your 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 continually say, "Let God be exalted."

5 But I am poor and needy: make haste to me, O God: you are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. LORD, do not delay.
