Psalms 70

1 God, please save me! Yahweh, come quickly to help me!

١ لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ. لِلتَّذْكِيرِ هَلُمَّ أَنْقِذْنِي يَا رَبُّ، وَأَسْرِعْ إِلَى مَعُونَتِي.

2 Humble those who are happy about my troubles/difficulties, and cause them to be disgraced/ashamed. Chase away those who are trying to kill me.

٢ لِيَخْزَ وَيَخْجَلِ السَّاعُونَ إِلَى قَتْلِي. لِيَرْتَدَّ وَيَخْجَلِ السَّاعُونَ لأَذِيَّتِي.

3 I hope/desire that you will cause them to become dismayed and ashamed [because you have defeated them].

٣ لِيَرْجِعِ السَّاخِرُونَ مِنِّي مُكَلَّلِينَ بِالْعَارِ.

4 [But] I hope/desire that all those who go to [worship] you will be very joyful [DOU]. I want those who love you because you saved them to shout repeatedly [HYP], “God is great!”

٤ لِيَفْرَحْ وَيَبْتَهِجْ بِكَ جَمِيعُ طَالِبِيكَ. وَلْيَقُلْ دَائِماً مُحِبُّو خَلاصِكَ: لِيَتَعَظَّمِ الرَّبُّ.

5 As for me, I am poor and needy [DOU]; [so] God, come quickly to help me! Yahweh, you are the one who saves and helps me, [so please] come quickly!

٥ إِنَّمَا أَنَا مُتَضَايِقٌ وَمُحْتَاجٌ، فَأَسْرِعِ الْلَهُمَّ إِلَيَّ. أَنْتَ عَوْنِي وَمُنْقِذِي. يَا رَبُّ لَا تَتَبَاطَأْ.
