Psalm 70

To the choirmaster. Of David, for the memorial offering.

Hasten, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.

Let them be ashamed and confounded who seek after my life; let them be turned back and put to confusion who wish me evil.

Let them be soon brought to shame who cry over me, “Aha! Aha!”

But let all those who seek you be joyful and glad in you; and let all who delight in your salvation say always, “The Lord be praised.”

As for me, I am poor and in misery; hasten to me, O God.

You are my helper and my deliverer; O Lord, do not tarry.
