Psalm 70:1–2

1 Hasten, O God, to save me;

come quickly, Lord, to help me.

2 May those who want to take my life

be put to shame and confusion;

may all who desire my ruin

be turned back in disgrace.

1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me;

Make haste to help me, O Lord.

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul:

Let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

1 Please, God, rescue me!

Come quickly, Lord, and help me.

2 May those who try to kill me

be humiliated and put to shame.

May those who take delight in my trouble

be turned back in disgrace.

1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me!

Make haste to help me, O Lord!

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded

Who seek my life;

Let them be turned back and confused

Who desire my hurt.

1 God, come quickly and save me.

Lord, hurry to help me.

2 Let those who are trying to kill me

be ashamed and disgraced.

Let those who want to hurt me

run away in disgrace.

1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me;

Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

2 Let them be put to shame and confounded

That seek after my soul:

Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor

That delight in my hurt.

1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Jehovah, hasten to my help. 2 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;

1 Come quickly to rescue me, O God! 

Come quickly to help me, O Lord! 

2 Let those who seek my life 

be confused and put to shame. 

Let those who want my downfall 

be turned back and disgraced. 

1 God, deliver me.

Hurry to help me, Lord!

2 Let those who seek my life

be disgraced and confounded;

let those who wish me harm

be driven back and humiliated.

1 Be pleased, O God, to deliver me.

O Lord, make haste to help me!

2 Let those be put to shame and confusion

who seek my life.

Let those be turned back and brought to dishonor

who desire to hurt me.

1 O God, make haste to deliver me.

O Yahweh, make haste to help me.

2 Let them be ashamed and abashed

who seek my life.

Let them be repulsed and humiliated

who desire my harm.

1 God, hurry and save me.

Lord, come quickly and help me.

2 Let those who are trying to kill me be put to shame.

Let them not be honored.

Let all those who want to destroy me

be turned back in shame.

1 O God, hasten to deliver me;

O Lord, hasten to my help!

2 Let those be ashamed and humiliated

Who seek my life;

Let those be turned back and dishonored

Who delight in my hurt.
