Psalm 70 - For the director of music. Of David. A petition.

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

² May those who want to take my life
be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin
be turned back in disgrace.
³ May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
turn back because of their shame.
⁴ But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
“The Lord is great!”

⁵ But as for me, I am poor and needy;
come quickly to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer; Lord, do not delay.
