Psalms 70
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
World English Bible
1For the Leader. A Psalm of David; to make memorial. O God, to deliver me, O LORD, to help me, make haste.
1Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, LORD.
2Let them be ashamed and abashed that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion that delight in my hurt.
2Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
3Let them be turned back by reason of their shame that say: 'Aha, aha.'
3Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!”
4Let all those that seek Thee rejoice and be glad in Thee; and let such as love Thy salvation say continually: 'Let God be magnified.'
4Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”
5But I am poor and needy; O God, make haste unto me; Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, tarry not.
5But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. LORD, don’t delay.
