Psalms 70

1 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David; to bring to remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory. Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward and brought to dishonour that delight in my hurt.

Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

3 Let them be turned back by reason of their shame that say, Aha, Aha.

Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

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

Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

5 But I am poor and needy; make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.
