Summary

Read Psalm 70

For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance.

1Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

2May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

3May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

4May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

5But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
