Psalm 70

לַ֝מְנַצֵּ֗חַ לְדָוִ֥ד לְהַזְכִּֽיר׃

For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance.

אֱלֹהִ֥ים לְהַצִּילֵ֑נִי יְ֝הוָ֗ה לְעֶזְרָ֥תִי חֽוּשָֽׁה׃

Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

יֵבֹ֣שׁוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ֮ מְבַקְשֵׁ֪י נַ֫פְשִׁ֥י יִסֹּ֣גוּ אָ֭חוֹר וְיִכָּלְמ֑וּ חֲ֝פֵצֵ֗י רָעָתִֽי׃

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

יָ֭שׁוּבוּ עַל־עֵ֣קֶב בָּשְׁתָּ֑ם הָ֝אֹמְרִ֗ים הֶ֘אָ֥ח׀ הֶאָֽח׃

May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

יָ֘שִׂ֤ישׂוּ וְיִשְׂמְח֨וּ׀ בְּךָ֗ כָּֽל־מְבַ֫קְשֶׁ֥יךָ וְיֹאמְר֣וּ תָ֭מִיד יִגְדַּ֣ל אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֹ֝הֲבֵ֗י יְשׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

וַאֲנִ֤י׀ עָנִ֣י וְאֶבְיוֹן֮ אֱלֹהִ֪ים חֽוּשָׁ֫ה־לִּ֥י עֶזְרִ֣י וּמְפַלְטִ֣י אַ֑תָּה יְ֝הוָ֗ה אַל־תְּאַחַֽר׃

But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
