Psalms 70:1-5
Psalms 70:1-5 New King James Version (NKJV)
Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Make haste to help me, O LORD! Let them be ashamed and confounded Who seek my life; Let them be turned back and confused Who desire my hurt. Let them be turned back because of their shame, Who say, “Aha, aha!” Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And let those who love Your salvation say continually, “Let God be magnified!” But I am poor and needy; Make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
Psalms 70:1-5 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Please, Lord! Come quickly and rescue me! God, show me your favor and restore me. Let all who seek my life be humiliated and confused. God, send them sprawling, all who wish me evil; they just want me dead. Scoff at every scoffer and cause them all to be utter failures! Let them be ashamed and horrified over their complete defeat. But let all who passionately seek you erupt with excitement and joy over what you’ve done! Let all your devoted lovers, who continually rejoice in the Savior, say aloud, “How great and glorious is our God!” Lord, in my place of weakness and need, won’t you turn your heart toward me and hurry to help me? For you are my Savior, and I’m always in your thoughts. So don’t delay to deliver me now, for you are my God.
Psalms 70:1-5 The Message (MSG)
God! Please hurry to my rescue! GOD, come quickly to my side! Those who are out to get me— let them fall all over themselves. Those who relish my downfall— send them down a blind alley. Give them a taste of their own medicine, those gossips off clucking their tongues. Let those on the hunt for you sing and celebrate. Let all who love your saving way say over and over, “God is mighty!” But I’ve lost it. I’m wasted. God—quickly, quickly! Quick to my side, quick to my rescue! GOD, don’t lose a minute.
Psalms 70:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me, O LORD. Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: Let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame That say, Aha, aha. 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. But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
Psalms 70:1-5 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)

Let those be turned back because of their shame Who say, “Aha, aha!” Let all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And let those who love Your salvation say continually, “Let God be magnified.” But I am afflicted and needy; Hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
Psalms 70:1-5 New Century Version (NCV)
God, come quickly and save me. LORD, hurry to help me. Let those who are trying to kill me be ashamed and disgraced. Let those who want to hurt me run away in disgrace. Let those who make fun of me stop because of their shame. But let all those who worship you rejoice and be glad. Let those who love your salvation always say, “Praise the greatness of God.” I am poor and helpless; God, hurry to me. You help me and save me. LORD, do not wait.
