Psalm 70 | New International Reader’s Version

For the director of music. A prayer of David.

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 honoured. Let all those who want to destroy me be turned back in shame. 3 Some people make fun of me. Let them be turned back when their plans fail. 4 But 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!’ 5 But 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.

Hilferuf gegen Widersacher

1 Von David, vorzusingen, zum Gedenkopfer. 2 Eile, Gott, mich zu erretten, HERR, mir zu helfen! 3 Es sollen sich schämen und zuschanden werden, die mir nach dem Leben trachten; sie sollen zurückweichen und zum Spott werden, die mir mein Unglück gönnen. 4 Sie sollen umkehren um ihrer Schande willen, die über mich schreien: Da, da! 5 Lass deiner sich freuen und fröhlich sein alle, die nach dir fragen; und die dein Heil lieben, lass allewege sagen: Hochgelobt sei Gott! 6 Ich aber bin elend und arm; Gott, eile zu mir! Du bist mein Helfer und Erretter; HERR, säume nicht!
