Psalms 70

¹ [For the choirmaster Of David In commemoration] Be pleased, God, to rescue me, Yahweh, comequickly and help me!

² Shame and dismay to those who seek my life! Back with them! Let them be humiliated who delight inmy misfortunes.

³ Let them shrink away covered with shame, those who say to me, 'Aha, aha!'

⁴ But joy and happiness in you to al who seek you. Let them ceaselessly cry, 'God is great', who loveyour saving power.

⁵ Poor and needy as I am, God, come quickly to me! Yahweh, my helper, my Saviour, do not delay!
