Psalm 70

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

1. Make haste, O God, to deliver me;

make haste to help me, O Lord.

2. Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul:

let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

3. Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

4. Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee:

and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5. But I am poor and needy:

make haste unto me, O God:

thou art my help and my deliverer;

O Lord, make no tarrying.
