Psalm 70

For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder.

70 Hurry, God, to deliver me.

    Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.

2 Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul.

    Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

3 Let them be turned because of their shame

    who say, “Aha! Aha!”

4 Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.

    Let those who love your salvation continually say,

    “Let God be exalted!”

5 But I am poor and needy.

    Come to me quickly, God.

You are my help and my deliverer.

    Yahweh, don’t delay.
