Psalm 70 - Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, for the memorial offering.

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

² Let them be put to shame and confusion who seek my life! Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor who desire my hurt!

³ Let them be appalled because of their shame who say, “Aha, Aha!”

⁴ May all who seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee! May those who love thy salvation say evermore, “God is great!”

⁵ But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! Thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not tarry!
