Psalm 70

O Lord, Do Not Delay

For the choir director: A psalm of David, asking God to remember him.

1 Please, God, rescue me!
Come quickly, Lord , and help me.
2 May those who try to kill me
be humiliated and put to shame.
May those who take delight in my trouble
be turned back in disgrace.
3 Let them be horrified by their shame,
for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”

4 But may all who search for you
be filled with joy and gladness in you.
May those who love your salvation
repeatedly shout, “God is great!”
5 But as for me, I am poor and needy;
please hurry to my aid, O God.
You are my helper and my savior;
O  Lord , do not delay.
