Psalms 70
Superscription to the chief musician
לַמְנַצֵּחַ לְדָוִד לְהַזְכִּֽיר׃
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.
A plea for God to make haste and help
אֱלֹהִים לְהַצִּילֵנִי יְהוָה לְעֶזְרָתִי חֽוּשָׁה׃
Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
יֵבֹשׁוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ מְבַקְשֵׁי נַפְשִׁי יִסֹּגוּ אָחוֹר וְיִכָּלְמוּ חֲפֵצֵי רָעָתִֽי׃
Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
יָשׁוּבוּ עַל-עֵקֶב בָּשְׁתָּם הָאֹמְרִים הֶאָח׀ הֶאָֽח׃
Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
יָשִׂישׂוּ וְיִשְׂמְחוּ׀ בְּךָ כָּֽל-מְבַקְשֶׁיךָ וְיֹאמְרוּ תָמִיד יִגְדַּל אֱלֹהִים אֹהֲבֵי יְשׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
וַאֲנִי׀ עָנִי וְאֶבְיוֹן אֱלֹהִים חוּשָׁה-לִּי עֶזְרִי וּמְפַלְטִי אַתָּה יְהוָה אַל-תְּאַחַֽר׃
But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
