Psalm 70. Deus, in adjutorium.

1. Be pleased, O God, to deliver me; *
   O Lord, make haste to help me.
2. Let those who seek my life be ashamed and altogether dismayed; *
   let those who take pleasure in my misfortune draw back and be disgraced.
3. Let those who say to me "Aha!" and gloat over me turn back, *
   because they are ashamed.
4. Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; *
   let those who love your salvation say for ever, Great is the Lord!
5. But as for me, I am poor and needy; *
   come to me speedily, O God.
6. You are my helper and my deliverer; *
   O Lord, do not tarry.
