Psalm
Psalms, 70
To the director. Of David, to bring to remembrance.
1 O God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, to my assistance do make haste.
2 May those be ashamed and abashed who are seeking my soul.*1 May those turn back and be humiliated who are taking delight in my calamity.
|
3 May those go back by reason of their shame who are saying: “Aha, aha!”
4 May those exult and rejoice in you, all of whom are seeking you, And may they say constantly: “God*1 be magnified!”—those loving your salvation.

5 But I am afflicted and poor. O God, do act quickly for me. You are my help and the Provider of escape for me. O Jehovah, do not be too late.
