Psalms 70
70
Psalm 70#70:0 Psalm 70 is virtually identical in wording to Psalm 40:13–17.
For the choir director; by David; to be kept in mind.
1Come quickly to rescue me, O God!
Come quickly to help me, O Lord!
2Let those who seek my life
be confused and put to shame.
Let those who want my downfall
be turned back and disgraced.
3Let those who say, “Aha! Aha!”
be turned back because of their own shame.
4Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad because of you.
Let those who love your salvation continually say,
“God is great!”
5But I am oppressed and needy.
O God, come to me quickly.
You are my help and my savior.
O Lord, do not delay!

PSALM 70
First Version
Meter: 6,6,8,6
To the chief Musician,
A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.
1Lord, haste me to deliver; with speed,
Lord, succor me.
2Let them that for my soul do seek
shamed and confounded be:
Turned back be they, and shamed,
that in my hurt delight.
3Turned back be they, Ha, ha! that say,
their shaming to requite.
4In thee let all be glad,
and joy that seek for thee:
Let them who thy salvation love
say still, God praisèd be.
5I poor and needy am; come, Lord,
and make no stay:
My help thou and deliv'rer art;
O Lord, make no delay.
