Psalms 70

1 David solicits God to the speedy destruction of the wicked, and preservation of the godly.

¶ To the chief musician, a psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
4 Let all those that seek you rejoice and be glad in you: and let such as love your salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
5 But I am poor and needy: make haste to me, O God: you are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
