Psalm 70

Prayer for Relief from Adversaries

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. To Bring to Remembrance.

1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me!

Make haste to help me, O Lord!

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded

Who seek my life;

Let them be turned back and confused

Who desire my hurt.

3 Let them be turned back because of their shame,

Who say, “Aha, aha!”

4 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;

And let those who love Your salvation say continually,

“Let God be magnified!”

5 But I am poor and needy;

Make haste to me, O God!

You are my help and my deliverer;

O Lord, do not delay.

 The New King James Version (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), Ps 70.
