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 Leader. A Psalm of David; to make memorial. O God, to deliver me, O LORD, to help me, make haste.

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

Let them be ashamed and abashed that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.

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

Let them be turned back by reason of their shame that say: 'Aha, aha.'

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.

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.'

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; O God, make haste unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, tarry not.
