Psalms 70 — NETB

For the music director; by David; written to get God’s attention.

70Verse 1O God, please be willing to rescue me!
O Lord, hurry and help me!
^{Verse 2}May those who are trying to take my life
be embarrassed and ashamed!
May those who want to harm me
be turned back and ashamed!
^{Verse 3}May those who say, “Aha! Aha!”
be driven back and disgraced!
^{Verse 4}May all those who seek you be happy and rejoice in you!
May those who love to experience your deliverance say continually,
“May God be praised!”
^{Verse 5}I am oppressed and needy!
O God, hurry to me!
You are my helper and my deliverer!
O Lord, do not delay!
