Psalms 70

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

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

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

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

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

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

4 But may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all who love your salvation say, ‘Glory to God,’ evermore.

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

But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Jehovah, do not delay.
