Psalm 70 :: English Standard Version (ESV)

O Lord, Do Not Delay

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