Salmos 70

(Til Sangmesteren. Af David. Lehazkir.) Du værdiges, Gud, at fri mig, Herre, il mig til Hjælp!

Lad dem beskæmmes og røme, som vil mig til Livs, og de, der ønsker mig ondt, lad dem vige med Skændsel;

Arm og fattig er jeg, il mig til Hjælp, o Gud! Du er min Hjælp og min Frelser; tøv ej, HERRE!

[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. {to help...: Heb. to my help}

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

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

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.

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