Psalms 70

1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David; to make memorial. O God, to deliver me, O LORD, to help me, make haste.

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

2 Let them be ashamed and abashed that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.

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

3 Let them be turned back by reason of their shame that say: 'Aha, aha.'

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

4 Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; and let such as love Thy salvation say continually: 'Let God be 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 But I am poor and needy; O God, make haste unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, tarry not.

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