Psalms 70

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.	1 [For the choirmaster Of David In commemoration] Be pleased, God, to rescue me, Yahweh, comequickly and help me!
2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.	2 Shame and dismay to those who seek my life! Back with them! Let them be humiliated who delight inmy misfortunes.
3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.	3 Let them shrink away covered with shame, those who say to me, '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.	4 But joy and happiness in you to al who seek you. Let them ceaselessly cry, 'God is great', who loveyour saving power.
5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.	5 Poor and needy as I am, God, come quickly to me! Yahweh, my helper, my Saviour, do not delay!
