Psalms 70

1 Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him. O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.

[For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder.] Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, LORD.

2 Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:

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

3 Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: Tis well, tis well.

Let them be turned back because of their shame who say to me, "Aha. Aha."

4 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord 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 needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper 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. LORD, do not delay.
