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

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

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

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

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