God^H430, hurry to save^H5337 me;

LORD^H3068, hurry^H2363 to help^H5833 me!

Psa 70:2

May those who seek^H1245 my [fn]life^H5315

Be put^H954 to^H954 shame^H954 and humiliated^H2659;

May those who delight^H2655 [fn]in my harm^H7451

Be turned^H5472 back^H268 and dishonored^H3637.

Psa 70:3

May those who say^H559, “Aha^H1889, aha^H1889!” be [fn]turned^H7725 back^H7725

Because^H5921^H6118 of their shame^H1322.

May all^H3605 who seek^H1245 You rejoice^H7797 and be^H8055 glad^H8055 in You;

And may those who love^H157 Your salvation^H3444 say^H559 continually^H8548,

“May God^H430 be exalted^H1431!”

Psa 70:5

But I am afflicted^H6041 and needy^H34;

Hurry^H2363 to me, God^H430!

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

LORD^H3068, do not delay^H309.
