Psalm 70
New American Standard Bible

Prayer for Help against Persecutors.

For the music director. A Psalm of David; for a memorial.

70 (A)God, hurry to save me;
Lord, hurry to help me!
2 (B)May those who seek my [a]life
Be put to shame and humiliated;
May those who delight [b]in my harm
Be turned back and dishonored.
3 (C)May those who say, “Aha, aha!” be [c]turned back
Because of their shame.

4 May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
And may those who love Your salvation say continually,
“May God be exalted!”
5 But (D)I am afflicted and needy;
(E)Hurry to me, God!
You are my help and my savior;
Lord, do not delay.

Psalm 70
The Message

70 1-3 God! Please hurry to my rescue!
    God, come quickly to my side!
Those who are out to get me—
    let them fall all over themselves.
Those who relish my downfall—
    send them down a blind alley.
Give them a taste of their own medicine,
    those gossips off clucking their tongues.

4 Let those on the hunt for you
    sing and celebrate.
Let all who love your saving way
    say over and over, “God is mighty!”

5 But I’ve lost it. I’m wasted.
    God—quickly, quickly!
Quick to my side, quick to my rescue!
    God, don’t lose a minute.

Psalmen 70
BasisBijbel

Psalm 70

1 Een lied van David. Voor de leider van het koor. Ter herinnering.

2 God, kom mij snel helpen.
Heer, kom mij redden!
3 Ze willen me doden.
Zorg dat hun plannen niet slagen.
Zorg dat mijn vijanden voor schut zullen staan,
rood van schaamte.
4 Reken af met de mensen
die zich alvast verheugen over mijn dood.
5 Maar laten de mensen die naar U verlangen
weer jubelen en juichen.
Zorg dat de mensen die van U houden
aldoor kunnen zeggen: "God is goed!"
6 Ik ben in grote nood, God, kom mij gauw helpen!
U bent mijn Helper en mijn Redder.
Heer, kom alstublieft gauw!
