Psalms 70

Prayer for help against persecutors.

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David; Or, to make memorial to bring to remembrance.

¹[Make haste], O God, to deliver me; Make haste to help me, O Jehovah.

²Let them be put to shame and confounded That seek after my soul: Let them be turned backward and brought to dishonor That delight in my hurt.

³Let them be turned back by reason of their shame That say, Aha, aha.

⁴Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; And let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

⁵But I am poor and needy; Make haste unto me, O God: Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Jehovah, make no tarrying.
