Psalm 70 ~ Psalm 70

picture

1 O God, hurry to take me out of trouble. O Lord, hurry to help me!

Make haste, o God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.

2 L et those who want to kill me be ashamed and brought low. Let those who want to hurt me be turned away in shame.

Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

3 L et those who say, “O, O!” be turned back because of their shame.

Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

4 L et all who look for You be full of joy and be glad in You. And let those who love Your saving power always say, “Let God be honored.”

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

5 B ut I am poor and in need. Hurry to me, O God! You are my help and the One Who takes me out of trouble. O Lord, do not wait.

But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.
