Psalm 70:3–5

3 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”

turn back because of their shame.

4 But may all who seek you

rejoice and be glad in you;

may those who long for your saving help always say,

“The Lord is great!”

5 But as for me, I am poor and needy;

come quickly to me, O God.

You are my help and my deliverer;

Lord, do not delay.

3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame

That say, Aha, aha.

4 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.

5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God:

Thou art my help and my deliverer;

O Lord, make no tarrying.

3 Let them be horrified by their shame,

for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”

4 But may all who search for you

be filled with joy and gladness in you.

May those who love your salvation

repeatedly shout, “God is great!”

5 But as for me, I am poor and needy;

please hurry to my aid, O God.

You are my helper and my savior;

O Lord, do not delay.

3 Let them be turned back because of their shame,

Who say, “Aha, aha!”

4 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;

And let those who love Your salvation say continually,

“Let God be magnified!”

5 But I am poor and needy;

Make haste to me, O God!

You are my help and my deliverer;

O Lord, do not delay.

3 Let those who make fun of me

stop because of their shame.

4 But let all those who worship you

rejoice and be glad.

Let those who love your salvation

always say, “Praise the greatness of God.”

5 I am poor and helpless;

God, hurry to me.

You help me and save me.

Lord, do not wait.

3 Let them be turned back by reason of their shame

That say,

Aha, aha.

Make haste unto me, O God:

Thou art my help and my deliverer;

O Jehovah, make no tarrying.

3 Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha! 4 Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified! 5 But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, O God.
