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 leader. Of David. For commemoration. Quickly, God, deliver me, hasten 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.

May those who are seeking my life, be ashamed and confounded.

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

May those who delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonor.

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.

But may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all who love your salvation say, “Glory to God,” evermore.

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.

I am weak and needy: make haste, God, to me. You are my help and deliverer; Lord, don’t delay.
