Psalms 70

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

TO THE OVERSEER. BY DAVID. “TO CAUSE TO REMEMBER.” O God, [hurry] to deliver me, O YHWH, hurry to help me.

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

Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.

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

Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, “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!”

Let all those seeking You rejoice and be glad in You, And let those loving Your salvation Continually say, “God is magnified.”

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

And I [am] poor and needy, O God, hurry to me, You [are] my help and my deliverer, O YHWH, do not linger!
