Psalm 70 Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies

To the leader. Of David, for the memorial offering.

¹ Be pleased, O God, to deliver me. O Lord, make haste to help me!

² Let those be put to shame and confusion who seek my life. Let those be turned back and brought to dishonor who desire to hurt me.

³ Let those who say, “Aha, Aha!” turn back because of their shame.

⁴ Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation say evermore, “God is great!”

⁵ But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay!
