Psalm 70

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies

To the leader. Of David, for the memorial offering.

¹Be pleased, O God, to deliver me.
    O Lord, make haste to help me!^(A)

    who seek my life.
Let those be turned back and brought to dishonor
    who desire to hurt me.^(B)
³Let those who say, “Aha, Aha!”
    turn back because of their shame.^(C)

    rejoice and be glad in you.
Let those who love your salvation

⁵But I am poor and needy;
    hasten to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
    O Lord, do not delay!^(D)
