1 PSALM 70 Prayer for Help against Persecutors. To the Chief Musician. of David, to bring to remembrance. O God,come quicklyto save me;O L, come quickly to help me!
2 Let those be ashamed and humiliatedWho seek my life;Let them be turned back and humiliatedWho delight in my hurt.
3 Let them be turned back because of their shameanddisgraceWho say, “Aha, aha!”
4 May all those who seek You [as life’s first priority] rejoice and be glad in You;May those who love Your salvation say continually,“Let God be magnified!”
5 But I am afflicted and needy;Come quickly to me, O God!You are my help and my rescuer;O L, do not delay.
