Psalm 70

A CALL FOR DELIVERANCE

For the choir director. Of David. To bring remembrance.j

1 God, hurry to rescue me.

Lord, hurry to help me!k

2 Let those who seek to kill me

be disgraced and confounded;

let those who wish me harm

be turned back and humiliated.

3 Let those who say, “Aha, aha!”

retreat because of their shame.l

4 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you;

let those who love your salvation

continually say, “God is great!”m

5 I am oppressed and needy;

hurry to me, God.

You are my help and my deliverer;

Lord, do not delay.n
