O Lord, Do Not Delay

Psalm 70

1 God! Please hurry to my rescue! God, come quickly to my side!
Those who are out to get me -
let them fall all over themselves.
Those who relish my downfall -
send them down a blind alley.
Give them a taste of their own medicine,
those gossips off clucking their tongues.

4 Let those on the hunt for you
sing and celebrate.
Let all who love your saving way
say over and over, "God is mighty!"
5 But I've lost it. I'm wasted.
God - quickly, quickly!
Quick to my side, quick to my rescue!
God, don't lose a minute.
