Psalms 70

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

Hasten, O God, to deliver me. Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

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

Let them be put to shame and confounded who seek after my soul. Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt.

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

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

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

Let all those who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee. And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

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

But I am poor and needy. Make haste to me, O God. Thou are my help and my deliverer, O Jehovah. Delay thou not.
