Psalm 70

 

For the director of music.  Of David.  A petition.

 

 

1                    Hasten, O God, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me.

 

2                    May those who seek my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

 

3                    May those who say to me, “Aha!  Aha!” turn back because of their shame.

 

4                    But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, “Let God be exalted!”

 

5                    Yet I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God.  You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
