Psalms 70:1-5

  • Urgent help requested

    • “Act quickly in my behalf” (5)

To the director. Of David, to serve as a reminder.* 70  O God, save me;O Jehovah, hurry to help me.+   May those seeking to take my life*Be put to shame and disgraced. May those who delight in my calamityRetreat in humiliation.   May those who are saying: “Aha! Aha!” Be driven back in shame.   But let those who are seeking youExult and rejoice in you.+ May those who love your acts of salvation always say: “May God be magnified!”   But I am helpless and poor;+O God, act quickly in my behalf.+ You are my helper and my rescuer;+O Jehovah, do not delay.+
