Psalms



Psalm 70

For the music director; by David; written to get God's attention.

   1 O God, please be willing to rescue me! O LORD, hurry and help me!
   2 May those who are trying to take my life be embarrassed and ashamed! May those who want to harm me be turned back and ashamed!
   3 May those who say, "Aha! Aha!" be driven back and disgraced!
   4 May all those who seek you be happy and rejoice in you! May those who love to experience your deliverance say continually, "May God be praised!"
   5 I am oppressed and needy! O God, hurry to me! You are my helper and my deliverer! O LORD, do not delay!
