Psalms 70

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David; to bring to remembrance. Save me, God! Yahweh, come quickly and help me.

For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

2 Let those who try to take my life be ashamed and humiliated; let them be turned back and brought to dishonor, those who take pleasure in my pain.

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

3 Let them be turned back because of their shame, those who say, “Aha, aha.”

May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

4 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let those who love your salvation always say, “May God be praised.”

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

5 But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, God; you are my help and you rescue me. Yahweh, do not delay.

But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
