Psalms 70

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

To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory. Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

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

Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

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

Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

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

Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

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

But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.
