Psalms 70

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. For a memorial. God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!

To him excelleth. A Psalme of David to put in remembrance. O God, haste thee to deliuer mee: make haste to helpe me, O Lord.

2 Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.

Let them be confounded and put to shame, that seeke my soule: let them bee turned backewarde and put to rebuke, that desire mine hurt.

3 May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.

Let them be turned backe for a rewarde of their shame, which said, Aha, aha.

4 But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”

But let all those that seeke thee, be ioyfull and glad in thee, and let all that loue thy saluation, say alwaies, God be praised.

5 As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!

Nowe I am poore and needie: O God, make haste to me: thou art mine helper, and my deliuerer: O Lord, make no tarying.
