Psalm 70

¹Hurry, God, to deliver me;

hurry, LORD , to help me!

²Let those who seek my life be ashamed and humiliated!

Let them fall back and be disgraced—

³Let those who say, “Aha! Aha!”

stop because of their shameful behavior.

⁴But let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you,

and let those who love your saving help say again and again:

⁵But me? I’m poor and needy.

Hurry to me, God!

You are my helper and my deliverer.

Oh, LORD , don’t delay!
