Psalms 70

1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY DAVID. “TO CAUSE TO REMEMBER.” O God, [hurry] to deliver me, O YHWH, hurry 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 them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.

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 turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, “Aha, aha.”

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

4 Let all those seeking You rejoice and be glad in You, And let those loving Your salvation Continually say, “God is magnified.”

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 And I [am] poor and needy, O God, hurry to me, You [are] my help and my deliverer, O YHWH, do not linger!

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