Psalms 70

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

For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me. Draw near, O God, to my help.

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 my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.

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

Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.

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 that seek you exult and be glad in you: and let those that 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; O God, help me: you are my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.
