Psalms 70

1 For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder. Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.

“To the chief musician, by David, to bring to remembrance.” O God, [arise] to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me.

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

Let those that seek after my life be made ashamed and put to the blush: let those that desire my unhappiness be turned backward and put to confusion.

3 Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!”

Let them be turned backward in consequence of their shame, that say, Aha, aha.

4 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

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

5 But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t delay.

But I am poor and needy, O God: come hastily unto me; my help and my deliverer art thou: O Lord, do not delay.
