Psalms 70

1 To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, [hasten] to my help.

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

2 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

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 turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!

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

4 Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God 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 afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, 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.
