1 Hasten, O God, to save me;

Psalm 70

For the worship leader. A song of David for remembering.

1 O God, hurry to save me;
    Eternal One, hurry to my side.
2 For those who seek to kill me,
    God, may they burn in disgrace and humiliation!
Repulse the attacks; ridicule the efforts
    of those taking pleasure in my pain.
3 I hear their taunts: “Nah, nah, nah . . . .”
    Let those hecklers fall back upon their brays—ashamed and confused—

4 But let those who pursue You
    celebrate and have joy because of You.
And let the song of those who love Your saving grace
    never cease: “God is great!”
5 But I am poor and in serious need,
    so hurry to my side, God,
Because You are my helper, my liberator.
    Eternal One, please don’t wait.

Psalm 70
New Living Translation

Psalm 70

For the choir director: A psalm of David, asking God to remember him.

1 Please, God, rescue me!
    Come quickly, Lord, and help me.
2 May those who try to kill me
    be humiliated and put to shame.
May those who take delight in my trouble
    be turned back in disgrace.
3 Let them be horrified by their shame,
    for they said, “Aha! We’ve got him now!”
4 But may all who search for you
    be filled with joy and gladness in you.
May those who love your salvation
    repeatedly shout, “God is great!”
5 But as for me, I am poor and needy;
    please hurry to my aid, O God.
You are my helper and my savior;
    O Lord, do not delay.
