Psalm 70

Hurry, O LORD, to Help Me! (Psalms 40:1–17; Psalms 141:1–10)

For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance.

¹Make haste, O God, to deliver me!

Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

²May those who seek my life

be ashamed and confounded;

may those who wish me harm

be repelled and humiliated.

³May those who say, “Aha, aha!”

retreat because of their shame.

⁴May all who seek You

rejoice and be glad in You;

may those who love Your salvation always say,

“Let God be magnified!”

⁵But I am poor and needy;

hurry to me, O God.

You are my help and my deliverer;

O LORD, do not delay.
