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. By David. A reminder. Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.

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 them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

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

Let them be turned because of their shame 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 continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

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. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t delay.
