Psalms 70

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. For a memorial. God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!

For the leader. Of David. For commemoration. Quickly, God, deliver me, hasten to help me, Lord.

2 Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.

May those who are seeking my life, be ashamed and confounded.

3 May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.

May those who delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonor.

4 But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”

But may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all who love your salvation say, “Glory to God,” evermore.

5 As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!

I am weak and needy: make haste, God, to me. You are my help and deliverer; Lord, don’t delay.
