Psalms 70

1 For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

1 Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.

2 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

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

3 May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

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

4 May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

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!”

5 But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.

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