Psalms 70

1Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

1Hurry, O God, to rescue me; come quickly, O LORD, to help me.

2Let 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.

2May those who are trying to kill me be humiliated and confused. May those who want to ruin me be pushed back and disgraced.

3Let them be turned back by reason of their shame That say, Aha, aha.

3May those who mock me and shout 'Aha!' be horrified by their own shame.

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.

4But let everyone who searches for you be filled with joy and gladness. Let those who love your salvation always say, 'God is great!'

5But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, make no tarrying.

5As for me, I am poor and in need; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my rescuer; O LORD, do not delay.
