Psalm 70

New International Version

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

1 Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, Lord, to help me. 

2 May those who want to take 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 long for your saving help always say, ‘The Lord is great!’ 

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