Psalms 70

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

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

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

May those who are seeking my life, be ashamed and confounded.

3 Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, 'Aha, aha.'

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

4 Let all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, 'God is magnified.'

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

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