Psalms 70

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, for remembrance.” Make haste, O God! to deliver me, O LORD! come speedily to mine aid!

2 Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

May they all be confounded, and covered with shame, Who seek to take my life! May they be driven back with disgrace Who desire to do me injury!

3 Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!”

May they be turned back with shame Who cry out to me, “Aha! aha!”

4 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”

But let all who seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee! Let them that love thy protection ever say, “May God be praised!”

5 But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. LORD, don’t delay.

But I am poor and needy; O God! hasten to mine aid! Thou art my help and my deliverer, O LORD! make no delay!
