Psalm 70

    For the director of music. Of David. A petition.
 ¹ Hasten, O God, to save me;
   O LORD, come quickly to help me.
² May those who seek 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 love your salvation always say,
   “Let God be exalted!”
 ⁵ Yet I am poor and needy;
   come quickly to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
   O LORD, do not delay.
