Psalm 70

O Yahweh, Do Not Delay

For the choir director. Of David. To bring to remembrance.

O God, hasten to deliver me;
O Yahweh, hasten to my help!
2
Let those be ashamed and humiliated
Who seek my life;
Let those be turned back and dishonored
Who delight in evil against me.
3
Let those turn back because of their shame
Who say, “Aha, aha!”

4
Let those be joyful and glad in You
All who seek You
And let them say continually,
“Let God be magnified,”
Those who love Your salvation.
5
But I am afflicted and needy;
Hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my protector;
O Yahweh, do not delay.
