Psalms 70
The psalmist urgently asks God for help and deliverance from those seeking to harm him, and prays for their shame and confusion. He expresses his desire for those who seek God to rejoice and be glad. The psalmist acknowledges his own poverty and need, and asks God not to delay in providing assistance.
1Make haste, O God, to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help me!2Let them be put to shame and confusion who seek my life! Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who desire my hurt!3Let them turn back because of their shame who say, "Aha, Aha!"4May all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you! May those who love your salvation say evermore, "God is great!"5But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay!
