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.

Preghiera di liberazione

1 Al direttore del coro. Di Davide. Per far ricordare. Affrèttati, o Dio, a liberarmi! Signore, affrèttati in mio aiuto! 2 Siano confusi e si vergognino quelli che cercano l’anima mia! Voltino le spalle e siano coperti d’infamia quelli che desiderano il mio male! 3 Indietreggino, sotto il peso della loro infamia, quelli che mi deridono. 4 Gioiscano ed esultino in te quelli che ti cercano; e quelli che amano la tua salvezza dicano sempre: «Sia glorificato Dio!» 5 Ma io sono misero e povero; o Dio, affrèttati a venire in mio aiuto; tu sei il mio sostegno e il mio liberatore; Signore, non tardare!
