1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory.

2 \70:1\Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

3 \70:2\Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

4 \70:3\Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

5 \70:4\Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

6 \70:5\But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David; to bring to remembrance.

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.

3 Let them be turned back by reason 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 Jehovah, make no tarrying.
