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.
