Psalms 70

¹ O Lord , Do Not Delay To the choirmaster . Of David , for the memorial offering . Make haste, O God , to deliver me! O Lord , make haste to help me!

² Let them be put to shame and confusion who seek my life ! Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt !

³ Let them turn back because of their shame who say , Aha , Aha !

⁴ May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore , God is great !

⁵ But I am poor and needy ; hasten to me, O God ! You are my help and my deliverer ; O Lord , do not delay !

¹ Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, Lord, to help me.

² May those who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

³ May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” turn back because of their shame.

⁴ But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, “The Lord is great!”

⁵ But as for me, I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; Lord, do not delay.

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

² Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul : let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

³ Let them be turned back for a reward 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 Lord, make no tarrying. Psalm 69 Books Psalm 71
