Psalms 70

1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory. Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, [hasten] to my help.

2 Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

3 Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!

4 Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

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

5 But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.

But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.
