Psalms 70

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

For the music director. A psalm of David. For a memorial. God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!

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

Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.

3 Let them be turned back because of their shame who say to me, "Aha. Aha."

May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.

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."

But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”

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

As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!
