Psalms 70

1For the leader. Of David. Lehazkir. Meaning of Heb. uncertain.

2Hasten, O God, to save me;O ETERNAL One, to aid me!

3Let those who seek my lifebe frustrated and disgraced;let those who wish me harm,fall back in shame.

4Let those who say, “Aha! Aha!”turn back because of their frustration.

5But let all who seek You be glad and rejoice in You;let those who are eager for Your deliverance always say,“Extolled be God!”

6But I am poor and needy;O God, hasten to me!You are my help and my rescuer;O ETERNAL One, do not delay.
