1To the choirmaster. Of David, for the memorial offering. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! O Lord, make haste to help me! (1Ch 16:4; Ps 38:1; Ps 40:13)2Let them be put to shame and confusion who seek my life! Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt!3Let them turn back because of their shame who say, “Aha, Aha!”4May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, “God is great!”5But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay! (Ps 141:1)
1Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, Lord, to help me.2May those who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.3May those who say to me, ‘Aha! Aha!’ turn back because of their shame.4But 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!’5But 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.
1God, hurry and save me. LORD, come quickly and help me.2Let those who are trying to kill me be put to shame. Let them not be honoured. Let all those who want to destroy me be turned back in shame.3Some people make fun of me. Let them be turned back when their plans fail.4But let all those who seek you be joyful and glad because of what you have done. Let those who want you to save them always say, ‘The LORD is great!’5But I am poor and needy. God, come quickly to me. You are the God who helps me and saves me. LORD, please don’t wait any longer.
Psalm 70
King James Version
1To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. Make haste , O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.2Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.3Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.4Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.5But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
1Für den Chormeister. Von David. Zum Gedenkopfer. (Ps 40:14)2Gott, komm mir zu Hilfe,
HERR, eile mir zu helfen!3In Schande und Schmach sollen fallen,
die mir nach dem Leben trachten.
Zurückweichen sollen und vor Scham erröten,
die sich über mein Unglück freuen.4Wegen ihrer Schande sollen sich abwenden,
die da sagen: Ha, dir geschieht recht.5Frohlocken sollen und deiner sich freuen
alle, die dich suchen.
Es sollen immer sagen: Groß ist Gott,
die dein Heil lieben.6Ich aber bin elend und arm.
Gott, eile zu mir!
Mein Helfer und mein Retter bist du.
HERR, säume doch nicht!
