Psalm 70

O Lord, Do Not Delay

¹ Be pleased, O God, to deliver me.
O Lord, make haste to help me!
² Let those be put to shame and confusion
who seek my life.
Let those be turned back and brought to dishonor
who desire to hurt me.
³ Let those who say, "Aha, Aha!"
turn back because of their shame.

⁴ Let all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you.
Let those who love your salvation
say evermore, "God is great!"
⁵ But I am poor and needy;
hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay!
