Psalm 70

CEB

MSG

1 Hurry, God, to deliver me; hurry, LORD, to help me!
1 God! Please hurry to my rescue! God, come quickly to my side!
2 Let those who seek my life be ashamed and humiliated! Let them fall back and be disgraced— those people who delight in my downfall!
2 Those who are out to get me - let them fall all over themselves. Those who relish my downfall - send them down a blind alley.
3 Let those who say, "Aha! Aha!" stop because of their shameful behavior.
3 Give them a taste of their own medicine, those gossips off clucking their tongues.
4 But let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you, and let those who love your saving help say again and again: "God is great!"
4 Let those on the hunt for you sing and celebrate. Let all who love your saving way say over and over, "God is mighty!"
5 But me? I'm poor and needy. Hurry to me, God! You are my helper and my deliverer. Oh, LORD, don't delay!
5 But I've lost it. I'm wasted. God - quickly, quickly! Quick to my side, quick to my rescue! God, don't lose a minute.
