Psalms 70
The psalmist asks God to quickly deliver and help him, and to bring shame and confusion to those who seek to harm him. He also expresses his desire for those who seek God to rejoice and be glad, and for God to be magnified. The psalmist acknowledges his own poverty and need, and asks God not to delay in coming to his aid.
Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.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.But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
