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.

For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder. Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, 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 them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

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

Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!”

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 seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

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 needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. LORD, don’t delay.
