Psalms 70

1 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David; to bring to remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me. Draw nigh, O God, to my help.

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward and brought to dishonour that delight in my hurt.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.

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

Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.

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.

Let all that seek thee exult and be glad in thee: and let those that love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5 But I am poor and needy; make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

But I am poor and needy; O God, help me: thou art my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.
