1 Vir die musiekleier. 'n Psalm van Dawid, by die gedenkoffer.

2 o God, maak tog gou om my te red, o HERE, om my te help!

3 Laat hulle wat my lewe soek, beskaamd staan en rooi van skaamte word; laat hulle wat behae het in my ongeluk, agteruitwyk en in die skande kom.

4 Laat hulle wat sê: Ha, ha! teruggaan vanweë hul beskaming.

5 Laat in U vrolik en bly wees almal wat U soek; en laat die liefhebbers van u heil altyddeur sê: Groot is God! [ (Psalms 70:6) Maar ek is ellendig en behoeftig: o God, kom tog gou na my! U is my hulp en my redder; HERE, vertoef tog nie! ]

1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory.

2 \70:1\Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

3 \70:2\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.

4 \70:3\Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

5 \70:4\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.

6 \70:5\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.
