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 Overseer, by David. — 'To cause to remember.' O God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste.

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 confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.

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

Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, '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 seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, 'God is magnified.'

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

And I [am] poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!
