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 chief musician. A psalm of David; to bring to remembrance. Save me, God! Yahweh, come quickly and help me.

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 those who try to take my life be ashamed and humiliated; let them be turned back and brought to dishonor, those who take pleasure in my pain.

3 Let them be turned backward in consequence of their shame, that say, Aha, aha.

Let them be turned back because of their shame, those who say, “Aha, aha.”

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 those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let those who love your salvation always say, “May God be praised.”

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; hurry to me, God; you are my help and you rescue me. Yahweh, do not delay.
