Psalms 70

1 “To the chief musician, by David, to bring to remembrance.” O God, [arise] to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me.

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

2 Let those that seek after my life be made ashamed and put to the blush: let those that desire my unhappiness be turned backward and put to confusion.

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 backward in consequence 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 be glad and rejoice in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, God is great.

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, O God: come hastily unto me; my help and my deliverer art thou: O Lord, do not delay.

But I am poor and needy; O God, help me: you are my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.
