Psalm 70

Psalm 70

70:1-5^pp — Ps 40:13–17

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

^*Hasten, O God, to save me;

come quickly, Lord, to help me.^a

May those who seek my life^b

be put to shame and confusion;

may all who desire my ruin

be turned back in disgrace.^c

May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”^d

turn back because of their shame.

But may all who seek you^e

rejoice and be glad^f in you;

may those who long for your saving help always say,

“The Lord is great!”^g

But as for me, I am poor and needy;^h

come quickly to me,ⁱ O God.

You are my help^j and my deliverer;^k

Lord, do not delay.^l
