Psalm 70

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

Psalm 70

To the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David, to bring to remembrance or make memorial.

¹ Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord!

² Let them be put to shame and confounded that seek and demand my life; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion and dishonor who desire and delight in my hurt.

³ Let them be turned back and appalled because of their shame and disgrace who say, Aha, aha!

⁴ May all those who seek, inquire of and for You, and require You [as their vital need] rejoice and be glad in You; and may those who love Your salvation say continually, Let God be magnified!

⁵ But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my Help and my Deliverer; O Lord, do not tarry!
