Psalm 70 (NASB2020)

Psalm 70

Prayer for Help against Persecutors.

For the music director. A Psalm of David; for a memorial.

1God, hurry to save me;

Lord, hurry to help me!

2May those who seek my 70:2 Or soullife

Be put to shame and humiliated;

May those who delight 70:2 Or to injure mein my harm

Be turned back and dishonored.

3May those who say, “Aha, aha!” be 70:3 Some mss appalledturned back

Because of their shame.

4¶May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;

And may those who love Your salvation say continually,

“May God be exalted!”

5But I am afflicted and needy;

Hurry to me, God!

You are my help and my savior;

Lord, do not delay.
