For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder.

70:1 Hurry, God, to deliver me.

Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.

70:2 Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul.

Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

70:3 Let them be turned because of their shame

Who say, "Aha! Aha!"

70:4 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.

Let those who love your salvation continually say,

"Let God be exalted!"

70:5 But I am poor and needy.

Come to me quickly, God.

You are my help and my deliverer.

Yahweh, don't delay.
