Psalm 70, side by side
Two versions of the same chapter. Each row is one verse, so you can see how the wording changes.
1For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!
1MAKE HASTE, O GOD, TO DELIVER ME; MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, O LORD.
2May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.
2Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
3May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.
3Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
4May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”
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; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not 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.
