Psalms 70

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

To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, [hasten] to my help.

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.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

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

Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!

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.”

Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, 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 afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.
