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 David. For commemoration. Quickly, God, deliver me, hasten to help me, Lord.

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 are seeking my life, be ashamed and confounded.

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

May those who delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonour.

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 may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all who love your salvation say, ‘Glory to God,’ evermore.

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

I am weak and needy: make haste, God, to me. You are my help and deliverer; Lord, don’t delay.
