Chapter 70
- 1
- 1 For the leader; of David. For remembrance.
- 2
- Graciously rescue me, God! Come quickly to help me, LORD!
- 3
- Confound and put to shame those who seek my life. Turn back in disgrace those who desire my ruin.
- 4
- Let those who say "Aha!" turn back in their shame.
- 5
- But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. May those who long for your help always say, "God be glorified!"
- 6
- Here I am, afflicted and poor. God, come quickly! You are my help and deliverer. LORD, do not delay!
