Psalm 70
Make haste to help me
A brief cry for God's swift deliverance; shame comes to those seeking harm; all who seek God rejoice and are glad in him; the poor and needy call for God's haste.
5 verses. The 70th of 150 chapters in Psalms, in Poetry and Wisdom.
1Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.
2Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
3Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
4Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
5But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.
