Psalm 70
Holman Christian Standard Bible

Psalm 70

A Call for Deliverance

For the choir director. Davidic. To bring remembrance.(A)

1 God, deliver me.
Hurry to help me, Lord!(B)

2 Let those who seek my life
be disgraced and confounded;
let those who wish me harm
be driven back and humiliated.
3 Let those who say, “Aha, aha!”
retreat because of their shame.(C)

4 Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
let those who love Your salvation
continually say, “God is great!”(D)
5 I am afflicted and needy;
hurry to me, God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Lord, do not delay.(E)

Psalm 70
New Living Translation

Psalm 70

For the choir director: A psalm of David, asking God to remember him.

1 Please, God, rescue me!
    Come quickly, Lord, and help me.
2 May those who try to kill me
    be humiliated and put to shame.
May those who take delight in my trouble
    be turned back in disgrace.
3 Let them be horrified by their shame,
    for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”
4 But may all who search for you
    be filled with joy and gladness in you.
May those who love your salvation
    repeatedly shout, “God is great!”
5 But as for me, I am poor and needy;
    please hurry to my aid, O God.
You are my helper and my savior;
    O Lord, do not delay.
