Psalms 70

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

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

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

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.

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

Let them be turned back by reason of their shame that say: '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 that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; and let such as love Thy salvation say continually: 'Let God be magnified.'

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; O God, make haste unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, tarry not.
