Psalms 70

Prayer for Relief from Adversaries

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. To bring to remembrance.¹Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Make haste to help me, O Lord! ²Let them be ashamed and confounded Who seek my life; Let them be turned back and confused Who desire my hurt. ³Let them be turned back because of their shame, Who say, “Aha, aha!” ⁴Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; And let those who love Your salvation say continually, “Let God be magnified!” ⁵But I am poor and needy; Make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay.
