To the director. Of David, to serve as a reminder.
70 O Al {pre. Ahl}, save me;
O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, hurry to help me.
2 May those seeking to take my life
Be put to shame and disgraced.
May those who delight in my calamity
Retreat in humiliation.
3 May those who are saying: “Aha! Aha!”
Be driven back in shame.
4 But let those who are seeking you
Exult and rejoice in you.
May those who love your acts of salvation always say:
“May Al {pre. Ahl} be magnified!”
5 But I am helpless and poor;
O Al {pre. Ahl}, act quickly in my behalf.
You are my helper and my rescuer;
O Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, do not delay.
