Psalm 70

Hurry to Save Me
(Psalm 40:13-17)

Heading
For the choir director. By David. To bring to remembrance.

Hurry to Help Me

Hurry, God! Rescue me!
Lord, hurry to help me!
May those who seek my life be put to shame and disgrace.
May all who desire to harm me be turned back and disgraced.
May those who say, “Aha! We got you!” be dismayed,
because they have been put to shame.
But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
May those who love your salvation always say, “Let God be exalted!”
Yet I am oppressed and poor.
God, hurry to me. You are my help and my deliverer.
O Lord, do not delay.

70 Make haste, o God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.
