Psalms 70 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Berean Study Bible
Psalms 70
1Make haste, O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.
2Let them be put to shame and confounded That seek after my soul: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.
3Let them be turned back by reason of their shame That say, Aha, aha.
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; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, make no tarrying.
Psalms 70
1Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!
2May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.
3May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.
4May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “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.
