Psalms 70
The psalmist asks God to quickly save and help him, while also seeking shame and confusion for those who seek to harm him. In contrast, the psalmist desires joy and gladness for those who seek and love God. Despite being poor and needy, the psalmist trusts in God as his help and deliverer, asking for swift intervention.
1Hasten, O God, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me.2May those who seek my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.3May those who say to me, "Aha! Aha!" turn back because of their shame.4But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who love your salvation always say, "Let God be exalted!"5Yet I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
