Psalms 70

1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, to bring to remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me. Draw near, O God, to my help.

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 confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.

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

Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.

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 that seek you exult and be glad in you: and let those that love your 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, help me: you are my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.
