Psalm 70 :: New International Version (NIV)

(Psa 40:13–17 )

Psa 70:1 [fn]For the director of music. Of David. A petition. Hasten, O God, to save me; come quickly, LORD, to help me.

Psa 70:2May those who want to take my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

Psa 70:3May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!” turn back because of their shame.

Psa 70:4But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you; may those who long for your saving help always say, “The LORD is great!”

Psa 70:5But as for me, I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; LORD, do not delay.
