New American Standard Bible

Psalm 70

Prayer for Help against Persecutors.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David; for a memorial.

1 O God, hasten to deliver me; O LORD, hasten to my help!
2 Let those be ashamed and humiliated Who seek my life; Let those be turned back and dishonored Who delight in my hurt.
3 Let those be turned back because of their shame Who say, "Aha, aha!"
4 Let all 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 afflicted and needy; Hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
