Psalm 70

New Century Version

A Cry for God to Help Quickly

For the director of music. A psalm of David. To help people remember.

70 God, come quickly and save me.
    Lord, hurry to help me.
²Let those who are trying to kill me
    be ashamed and disgraced.
Let those who want to hurt me
    run away in disgrace.
³Let those who make fun of me
    stop because of their shame.
⁴But let all those who worship you
    rejoice and be glad.
Let those who love your salvation
    always say, “Praise the greatness of God.”
⁵I am poor and helpless;
    God, hurry to me.
You help me and save me.
    Lord, do not wait.
