Psalms 70

1 <To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory.> Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

1 Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, LORD, to help me.

2 Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

2 May those who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

3 Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

3 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” turn back because of their shame.

4 Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

4 But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, “The LORD is great!”

5 But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.

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