PSALM 70
First Version
Meter: 6,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.
1Lord, haste me to deliver; with speed,
Lord, succor me.
2Let them that for my soul do seek
shamed and confounded be:
Turned back be they, and shamed,
that in my hurt delight.
3Turned back be they, Ha, ha! that say,
their shaming to requite.
4In thee let all be glad,
and joy that seek for thee:
Let them who thy salvation love
say still, God praisèd be.
5I poor and needy am; come, Lord,
and make no stay:
My help thou and deliv'rer art;
O Lord, make no delay.

A Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies
For the music director. Of David. To bring to remembrance.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1O God, make haste to deliver me.
O Yahweh, make haste to help me.
2Let them be ashamed and abashed
who seek my life.
Let them be repulsed and humiliated
who desire my harm.
3let them turn back because of their shame,
those who say, “Aha! Aha!”
4Let them rejoice and be glad in you,
all those who seek you.
Let them say continually, “God is great!”
those who love your salvation.
5But I am poor and needy;
O God hasten to me.
You are my help and my deliverer.
O Yahweh, do not delay.
