Psalm 70

O Lord, Do Not Delay

To the choirmaster. Of David, for the memorial offering.

¹
_g Make haste, O God, to deliver me!
O Lord, make haste to help me!
² Let them be put to shame and confusion
who seek my life!
Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor
who delight in my hurt!
³ Let them turn back because of their shame
who say, "Aha, Aha!"

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