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 Chief Musician. By David. A reminder. Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.

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 disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

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

Let them be turned because of their shame who 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 who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

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. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t delay.
