Súplica por la liberación
(Sal. 40.13-17)
Al músico principal. Salmo de David, para conmemorar.
70 Oh Dios, acude a librarme;
Apresúrate, oh Dios, a socorrerme.
2 Sean avergonzados y confundidos
Los que buscan mi vida;
Sean vueltos atrás y avergonzados
Los que mi mal desean.
3 Sean vueltos atrás, en pago de su afrenta hecha,
Los que dicen: ¡Ah! ¡Ah!
4 Gócense y alégrense en ti todos los que te buscan,
Y digan siempre los que aman tu salvación:
Engrandecido sea Dios.
5 Yo estoy afligido y menesteroso;
Apresúrate a mí, oh Dios.
Ayuda mía y mi libertador eres tú;
Oh Jehová, no te detengas.

A Cry for God to Help Quickly
For the director of music. A song of David. To help people remember.
70 God, save me.
Lord, hurry to help me.
2 People are trying to kill me.
Shame them and disgrace them.
People want to hurt me.
Let them run away in disgrace.
3 People make fun of me.
Stop them and make them ashamed.
4 But let all the people who worship you
rejoice and be glad.
Let the people who love your salvation
always say, “Praise the greatness of God.”
5 I am poor and helpless.
God, hurry to me.
You help me and save me.
Lord, do not wait.

Footnotes
- Psalm 70:1 sn Psalm 70. This psalm is almost identical to Ps 40:13-17. The psalmist asks for God’s help and for divine retribution against his enemies.
- Psalm 70:1 tn Heb “to cause to remember.” The same form, a Hiphil infinitive of זָכַר (zakhar, “remember”), also appears in the superscription of Ps 38. Some understand this in the sense of “for the memorial offering,” but it may carry the idea of bringing one’s plight to God’s attention (see P. C. Craigie, Psalms 1-50 [WBC], 303).
- Psalm 70:1 tn Heb “O God, to rescue me.” A main verb is obviously missing. The verb רָצָה (ratsah, “be willing”) should be supplied (see Ps 40:13). Ps 40:13 uses the divine name “Lord” rather than “God.”
- Psalm 70:1 tn Heb “hurry to my help.” See Pss 22:19; 38:22.
- Psalm 70:2 tn Heb “may they be embarrassed and ashamed, the ones seeking my life.” Ps 40:14 has “together” after “ashamed,” and “to snatch it away” after “my life.”
- Psalm 70:2 tn The four prefixed verbal forms in this verse are understood as jussives. The psalmist is calling judgment down on his enemies.sn See Ps 35:4 for a similar prayer.
- Psalm 70:3 tn The prefixed verbal form is understood as a jussive in this imprecation.
- Psalm 70:3 tn Heb “May they be turned back according to their shame, those who say, ‘Aha! Aha!’” Ps 40:15 has the verb “humiliated” instead of “turned back” and adds “to me” after “say.”
- Psalm 70:4 tn Heb “those who love,” which stands metonymically for its cause, the experience of being delivered by God.
- Psalm 70:4 tn The three prefixed verbal forms prior to the quotation are understood as jussives. The psalmist balances out his imprecation against his enemies with a prayer of blessing on the godly.
- Psalm 70:4 tn Ps 40:16 uses the divine name “Lord” here instead of “God.”
- Psalm 70:4 tn The prefixed verbal form is taken as a jussive, “may the Lord be magnified [in praise].” Another option is to take the verb as an imperfect, “the Lord is great.” See Ps 35:27.
- Psalm 70:5 sn See Pss 35:10; 37:14.
- Psalm 70:5 tn Ps 40:17 has “may the Lord pay attention to me.”
- Psalm 70:5 tn Ps 40:17 has “my God” instead of “Lord.”
