Psalms 70

1 To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David to bring to remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

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

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

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.

3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

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

4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; let those who love your salvation always say, “May God be praised.”

5 But I [am] poor and needy: make haste to me, O God: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no delay.

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