Psalms

Chapter 70

Hurry, O LORD, to Help Me!

For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance.

1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me!

Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

2 May those who seek my life

be ashamed and confounded;

may those who wish me harm

be repelled and humiliated.

3 May those who say, “Aha, aha!”

retreat because of their shame.

4 May all who seek You

rejoice and be glad in You;

may those who love Your salvation always say,

“Let God be magnified!”

5 But I am poor and needy;

hurry to me, O God.

You are my help and my deliverer;

O LORD, do not delay.
