Psalms 70
David asks God for help and salvation, seeking to confound and shame those who wish him harm. He expresses his trust in God, asking that those who seek Him be filled with joy and that His name be magnified. David acknowledges his own poverty and destitution, but affirms that God is his helper and deliverer. He concludes by urging God not to delay in coming to his aid.
1Unto the end. A Psalm of David, in remembrance that the Lord had saved him. O God, reach out to help me. O Lord, hasten to assist me2May those who seek my soul be confounded and awed3May those who wish evils upon me be turned back and blush with shame. May they be turned away immediately, blushing with shame, who say to me: "Well, well.4Let all who seek you exult and rejoice in you, and let those who love your salvation forever say: "The Lord be magnified.5I am truly destitute and poor. O God, assist me. You are my helper and my deliverer. O Lord, do not delay
