Psalm 70

A prayer for God to help quickly

¹God, please save me!

Lord , come quickly to help me!

²Stop the people who want to kill me,

so that they become ashamed and confused.

Chase the people who want to hurt me,

so that they run away in shame .

³When people laugh at me,

make them ashamed for what they have done.

⁴God, may those who want to know you be very happy.

Everyone who loves you because you have saved them

should never stop saying, ‘Praise God.’

⁵But I am poor and weak, God.

Please hurry to give me help.

You are the one who helps me

and who saves me.

Lord , come quickly to help me!
