Psalm 70 – A Cry for Help in Persecution
For the leader. Of David. For commemoration.
1Quickly, God, deliver me,
hasten to help me, Lord.
2May those who are seeking my life,
be ashamed and confounded.
3May those who delight in my hurt
be defeated and brought to dishonor.
4But may all who seek after you
rejoice and be glad in you.
May all who love your salvation
say, “Glory to God,” evermore.
5I am weak and needy:
make haste, God, to me.
You are my help and deliverer;
Lord, don’t delay.
