Psalms, 70

1. [For the choirmaster Of David In commemoration] Be pleased, God, to rescue me, Yahweh, come quickly and help me!

1. <To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David, to bring to remembrance.> [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.

2. Shame and dismay to those who seek my life! Back with them! Let them be humiliated who delight in my misfortunes.

2. Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

3. Let them shrink away covered with shame, those who say to me, 'Aha, aha!'

3. Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

4. But joy and happiness in you to all who seek you. Let them ceaselessly cry, 'God is great', who love your saving power.

4. 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. Poor and needy as I am, God, come quickly to me! Yahweh, my helper, my Saviour, do not delay!

5. But I [am] poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
