Psalms 70

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

1A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab, and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion:

1To the Overseer, by David. --`To cause to remember.' O God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste.

1 Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

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.

2Deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.

2Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.

2Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

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

3Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my firmament and my refuge.

3Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, `Aha, aha.'

3Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their 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.

4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.

4Let all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, `God is magnified.'

4Let 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.

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

5For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth.

5And I <FI>am<Fi> poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer <FI>art<Fi> Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!

5But 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.
