Psalms
(Of the Director; of David’s; for the memorial.)
70 Be pleased to deliver me, God;
Jehovah, hasten to my help.
2 Let those be disappointed and abashed
who are hunting after my life;
Let those fall back and be humiliated
who would like harm for me.
3 Let those stand aghast as they look back on their disappointment
who are saying “Oho, oho!”
4 Let all who go in quest of you
be joyous and merry in you;
Let those who love your salvation
say all the time “God is showing himself great!”
5 And me, insignificant and needy,
make haste for me, God;
You are my help and deliverer;
my God, do not delay.
