For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder. Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh. (MT 70:2; LXX 69:1; LXX 69:2; Rahlfs 69:1; Rahlfs 69:2)
לַ֝מְנַצֵּ֗חַ לְדָוִ֥ד לְהַזְכִּֽיר׃
2Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. (MT 70:3; LXX 69:3; Rahlfs 69:3)
אֱלֹהִ֥ים לְהַצִּילֵ֑נִי יְ֝הוָ֗ה לְעֶזְרָ֥תִי חֽוּשָֽׁה׃
3Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!” (MT 70:4; LXX 69:4; Rahlfs 69:4)
יֵבֹ֣שׁוּ וְיַחְפְּרוּ֮ מְבַקְשֵׁ֪י נַ֫פְשִׁ֥י יִסֹּ֣גוּ אָ֭חוֹר וְיִכָּלְמ֑וּ חֲ֝פֵצֵ֗י רָעָתִֽי׃
4Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!” (MT 70:5; LXX 69:5; Rahlfs 69:5)
יָ֭שׁוּבוּ עַל־עֵ֣קֶב בָּשְׁתָּ֑ם הָ֝אֹמְרִ֗ים הֶ֘אָ֥ח ׀ הֶאָֽח׃
5But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t delay. (MT 70:6; LXX 69:6; Rahlfs 69:6)
יָ֘שִׂ֤ישׂוּ וְיִשְׂמְח֨וּ ׀ בְּךָ֗ כָּֽל־מְבַ֫קְשֶׁ֥יךָ וְיֹאמְר֣וּ תָ֭מִיד יִגְדַּ֣ל אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֹ֝הֲבֵ֗י יְשׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃
