Psalm 70 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

(Psa 40:13–17 )

For the choir director. Of David. To bring to remembrance.

O God^H430, hasten to deliver^H5337 me;

O Yahweh^H3068, hasten^H2363 to my help^H5833!

Let those be^H954 ashamed^H954 and humiliated^H2659

Who seek^H1245 my [fn]life^H5315;

Let those be turned^H5472 back^H268 and dishonored^H3637

Who delight^H2655 in [fn]evil^H7451 against me^H7451.

Let those [fn]turn^H7725 back^H7725 because^H5921^H6118 of their shame^H1322

Who say^H559, “Aha^H1889, aha^H1889!”

Let those be joyful^H7797 and glad^H8055 in You

All^H3605 who seek^H1245 You

And let them say^H559 continually^H8548,

“Let God^H430 be magnified^H1431,”

Those who love^H157 Your salvation^H3444.

But I am afflicted^H6041 and needy^H34;

Hasten^H2363 to me, O God^H430!

You are my help^H5828 and my protector^H6403;

O Yahweh^H3068, do not delay^H309.

Or soul

Or my calamity

Some mss be appalled
