Psalm 70
70
O Lord, Do Not Delay
To the choirmaster. Of David, #Ps. 38, title; [1 Chr. 16:4]for the memorial offering.
1 # For ver. 1-5, see Ps. 40:13-17 Make haste, O God, to deliver me!
O Lord, make haste to help me!
2Let them be put to shame and confusion
who seek my life!
Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor
who delight in my hurt!
3Let them turn back because of their shame
who say, “Aha, Aha!”
4May all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you!
May those who love your salvation
say evermore, “God is great!”
5But I am poor and needy;
#
Ps. 141:1
hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay!

Psalm 70
For the director of music. A prayer of David.
1God, hurry and save me.
Lord, come quickly and help me.
2Let those who are trying to kill me be put to shame.
Let them not be honored.
Let all those who want to destroy me
be turned back in shame.
3Some people make fun of me.
Let them be turned back when their plans fail.
4But let all those who seek you
be joyful and glad because of what you have done.
Let those who want you to save them always say,
“The Lord is great!”
5But I am poor and needy.
God, come quickly to me.
You are the God who helps me and saves me.
Lord, please don’t wait any longer.
