Psalm 70, side by side
Two versions of the same chapter. Each row is one verse, so you can see how the wording changes.
1Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, the LORD.
1MAKE HASTE, O GOD, TO DELIVER ME; MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, O LORD.
2Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
2Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
3Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!”
3Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
4Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”
4Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
5But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. The LORD, don’t delay.
5But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
