Psalms 70

1 Make haste, O Elohim, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O YHWH.

To the Chief Musician. David’s. To call to Remembrance. [Be pleased] O God, to rescue me, O Yahweh, 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 turn pale and then at once blush, Who are seeking my life, —Let them draw back, and be confounded, Who are taking pleasure in my misfortune;

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

Let them turn back, on account of their own shame, Who are saying, 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 Elohim be magnified.

Let all them be glad and rejoice in thee, Yea, let them, who are seekers of thee, —say continually, God be magnified! Who are lovers of thy salvation.

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

But, I, being humbled and needy, O God, haste to me, —My help and my deliverer, art thou, O Yahweh do not tarry.
