A psalm written by David for the choir director, asking God to help David

70 God, please save me!

Yahweh, come quickly to help me!

2 Humble those who are happy about my troubles/difficulties, and cause them to be disgraced/ashamed.

Chase away those who are trying to kill me.

3 I hope/desire that you will cause them to become dismayed and ashamed

because you have defeated them.

4 But I hope/desire that all those who go to worship you will be very joyful [DOU].

I want those who love you because you saved them to shout repeatedly [HYP],

“God is great!”

5 As for me, I am poor and needy [DOU];

so God, come quickly to help me!

Yahweh, you are the one who saves and helps me,

so please come quickly!
