PSALM 70
Prayer for Help against Persecutors.
For the music director. A Psalm of David; for a memorial.
1God, hurry to save me;
Lord, hurry to help me!
2May those who seek my #70.2: Or soullife
Be put to shame and humiliated;
May those who delight #70.2: Or to injure mein my harm
Be turned back and dishonored.
3May those who say, “Aha, aha!” be #70.3: Some mss appalledturned back
Because of their shame.
4¶May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
And may those who love Your salvation say continually,
“May God be exalted!”
5But I am afflicted and needy;
Hurry to me, God!
You are my help and my savior;
Lord, do not delay.
