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!

Psalms 70
70
To the director: A song of David to help people remember.
1Please, God, rescue me!
Lord, hurry and help me!
2People are trying to kill me.
Please disappoint them.
Humiliate them!
They want to hurt me.
Make them run away in shame.
3May those who make fun of me
be too embarrassed to speak.
4But may those who come to you
be happy and rejoice.
May those who love being saved by you
always be able to say, “Praise God!”#70:4 Praise God Literally, “God is great” or “May God be magnified.”
5I am only a poor, helpless man.
God, please hurry to me.
You are my helper, the one who can save me.
Lord, don’t be too late!
