Read A Psalm: Psalm 70

Psalm 70

For the director of music. Of David. A petition.

¹ Hasten, O God, to save me;
    O Lord, come quickly to help me. 
² May those who seek my life 
    be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin
    be turned back in disgrace. 
³ May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” 
    turn back because of their shame.
⁴ But may all who seek you 
    rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who love your salvation always say,
    “Let God be exalted!”

⁵ Yet I am poor and needy; 
    come quickly to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer; 
    O Lord, do not delay.
