Psalm 70
O Lord, Do Not Delay
1. To the choirmaster. Of David, for the memorial offering. 1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me! 1 O Lord, make haste to help me!
2. Let them be put to shame and confusion 2 who seek my life! 2 Let them be turned back and brought to dishonor 2 who delight in my hurt!
3. Let them turn back because of their shame 3 who say, “Aha, Aha!”
4. May all who seek you 4 rejoice and be glad in you! 4 May those who love your salvation 4 say evermore, “God is great!”
5. But I am poor and needy; 5 hasten to me, O God! 5 You are my help and my deliverer; 5 O Lord, do not delay!
