Psalm 70

English Standard Version

from Crossway

O Lord, Do Not Delay

1 To the choirmaster. Of David, for the memorial offering. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! O Lord, make haste to help me! (1Ch 16:4; Ps 38:1; Ps 40:13) 

2 Let them be put to shame and confusion who seek my life! Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who delight in my hurt! 

3 Let them turn back because of their shame who say, “Aha, Aha!” 

4 May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, “God is great!” 

5 But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay! (Ps 141:1)
