A Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies
70 For the music director. Of David. To bring to remembrance.a
1 O God, make haste to deliver me.
O Yahweh, make haste to help me.
2 Let them be ashamed and abashed
who seek my life.
Let them be repulsed and humiliated
who desire my harm.
3 let them turn back because of their shame,
those who say, “Aha! Aha!”
4 Let them rejoice and be glad in you,
all those who seek you.
Let them say continually, “God is great!”
those who love your salvation.
O God hasten to me.
You are my help and my deliverer.
O Yahweh, do not delay.
