Psalms 70

1 MAKE haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.

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

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

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

Let them be turned back by reason of their shame that 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 that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; and let such as love Thy salvation say continually: 'Let God be magnified.'

5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.

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