Psalms 70

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

MAKE HASTE, O GOD, TO DELIVER ME; MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, O LORD.

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.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

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

Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

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!”

Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: and let such as love your salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

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!

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