Psalms 70

1 MAKE HASTE, O GOD, TO DELIVER ME; MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, O LORD.

For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

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.

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

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

May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

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.

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

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

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