Psalms 70

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

Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen zum Gedächtnis. Eile, Gott, mich zu erretten, HERR, mir zu helfen!

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.

Es müssen sich schämen und zuschanden werden, die nach meiner Seele stehen; sie müssen zurückkehren und gehöhnet werden, die mir übels wünschen,

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

daß sie müssen wiederum zu Schanden werden, die da über mich schreien: Da, da!

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!”

Freuen und fröhlich müssen sein an dir, die nach dir fragen; und die dein Heil lieben, immer sagen: Hochgelobt sei Gott!

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!
