1 [To the chief Musician. {A Psalm} of David: to bring to remembrance.] Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, {hasten} to my help.2 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;3 Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!4 Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!5 But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.

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! ]
