Psalm 70 -- Common English Bible -- a fresh translation to touch the heart and mind

For the music leader / / / Of David / / / For the memorial offering / / /
Hurry, God, to deliver me;
hurry, LORD, to help me!
Let those who seek my life be ashamed and humiliated!
Let them fall back and be disgraced --
those people who delight in my downfall!
Let those who say, "Aha! Aha!" stop because of their shameful behavior.
But let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you,
and let those who love your saving help say again and again,
"God is great!"
But me?  I'm poor and needy.
Hurry to me, God!
You are my helper and my deliverer.
Oh, Lord, don't delay!
