Psalms 70

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David: to bring to remembrance.

1 Make haste, O God*GodHebrew: Elohim 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*GodHebrew: Elohim be magnified! 5 But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God*GodHebrew: Elohim Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David; to bring to remembrance.

1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me;

Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

2 Let them be put to shame and confounded

That seek after my soul:

Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor

That delight in my hurt.

3 Let them be turned back by reason of their shame

That say, Aha, aha.

4 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.

5 But I am poor and needy;

Make haste unto me, O God:

Thou art my help and my deliverer;

O Jehovah, make no tarrying.
