Psalms 70
Prayer for Help against Persecutors.
1 O God, come quickly to save me;
O Lord, come quickly to help me!
2 Let those be ashamed and humiliated
Who seek my life;
Let them be turned back and humiliated
Who delight in my hurt.
3 Let them be turned back because of their shame and disgrace
Who say, “Aha, aha!”
4 May 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!”
5 But I am afflicted and needy;
Come quickly to me, O God!
You are my help and my rescuer;
O Lord, do not delay.
