Psalms 70

Psalm 70

Prayer for Help against Persecutors.

1O God, come quickly to save me; O Lord, come quickly to help me!

2Let those be ashamed and humiliated Who seek my life; Let them be turned back and humiliated Who delight in my hurt.

3Let them be turned back because of their shame and disgrace Who say, “Aha, aha!”

4May all those who seek You [as life’s first priority] rejoice and be glad in You; May those who love Your salvation say continually, “Let God be magnified!”

5But I am afflicted and needy; Come quickly to me, O God! You are my help and my rescuer; O Lord, do not delay.
