Psalm 70

Hurry, O Lord, to Help Me!

(Psalms 40:1–17; Psalms 141:1–10)

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.
