Psalms 70

1 “For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, for remembrance.” Make haste, O God! to deliver me, O LORD! come speedily to mine aid!

For the leader. Of David. For commemoration. Quickly, God, deliver me, hasten to help me, Lord.

2 May they all be confounded, and covered with shame, Who seek to take my life! May they be driven back with disgrace Who desire to do me injury!

May those who are seeking my life, be ashamed and confounded.

3 May they be turned back with shame Who cry out to me, “Aha! aha!”

May those who delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonor.

4 But let all who seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee! Let them that love thy protection ever say, “May God be praised!”

But may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all who love your salvation say, “Glory to God,” evermore.

5 But I am poor and needy; O God! hasten to mine aid! Thou art my help and my deliverer, O LORD! make no delay!

I am weak and needy: make haste, God, to me. You are my help and deliverer; Lord, don’t delay.
