Psalms 70

   |   

Psalm 70[a](a)

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

1 Hasten, O God, to save me;
    come quickly, Lord, to help me.(b)

2 May those who want to take my life(c)
    be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin
    be turned back in disgrace.(d)
3 May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!"(e)
    turn back because of their shame.
4 But may all who seek you(f)
    rejoice and be glad(g) in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
    "The Lord is great!"(h)

5 But as for me, I am poor and needy;(i)
    come quickly to me,(j) O God.
You are my help(k) and my deliverer;(l)
    Lord, do not delay.(m)
