2 Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
Let my adversaries be clothed with dishonor. Let them cover themselves with their own shame as with a robe.
Behold, all those who are incensed against you shall be disappointed and confounded: those who strive with you shall be as nothing, and shall perish.

PSALM 70
Ps 70:1-5. This corresponds to Ps 40:13-17 with a very few variations, as "turn back" (Ps 70:3) for "desolate," and "make haste unto me" (Ps 70:5) for "thinketh upon me." It forms a suitable appendix to the preceding, and is called "a Psalm to bring to remembrance," as the thirty-eighth [see on Ps 38:1, title].
