Psalms 70

1 [For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder.] Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, YHWH.

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

2 Let them be put to shame and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

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 back because of their shame who say to me, "Aha. Aha."

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

4 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, "Let God be exalted."

Let all that seek thee exult and be glad in thee: and let those that love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5 But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. YHWH, do not delay.

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