To the choirmaster: according to Lilies. Of David.
[70:1] Make haste, O God, to deliver me! O Lord, make haste to help me!
[70:2] Let them be put to shame and confusion who seek my life! Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt!
[70:3] Let them turn back because of their shame who say, “Aha, Aha!”
[70:4] May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, “God is great!”
[70:5] But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay!
