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, by David, to bring to remembrance.” O God, [arise] to deliver me; O Lord, make haste 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.

Let those that seek after my life be made ashamed and put to the blush: let those that desire my unhappiness be turned backward and put to confusion.

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

Let them be turned backward in consequence 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, God is great.

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, O God: come hastily unto me; my help and my deliverer art thou: O Lord, do not delay.
