Psalms 70

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

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

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

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

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

4 Let all that seek you exult and be glad in you: and let those that 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; O God, help me: you are my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.

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