Chapter 70

1

1 For the leader; of David. For remembrance.

2

Graciously rescue me, God! Come quickly to help me, LORD!

3

Confound and put to shame those who seek my life. Turn back in disgrace those who desire my ruin.

4

Let those who say "Aha!" turn back in their shame.

5

But may all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. May those who long for your help always say, "God be glorified!"

6

Here I am, afflicted and poor. God, come quickly! You are my help and deliverer. LORD, do not delay!

 

 



1 [Psalm 70] A lament of a poor and afflicted person (⇒ Psalm 70:6) who has no resource except God, and who cries out to be saved from the enemy. The psalm is almost identical to ⇒ Psalm 40:14-17.
