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 leader of the music. A psalm of David, for remembrance.” Make haste, O God! to deliver me, O LORD! come speedily to mine aid!

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 they all be confounded, and covered with shame, Who seek to take my life! May they be driven back with disgrace Who desire to do me injury!

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

May they be turned back with shame Who cry out to me, “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.”

But let all who seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee! Let them that love thy protection ever say, “May God be praised!”

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! hasten to mine aid! Thou art my help and my deliverer, O LORD! make no delay!
