Psalm 70 (69)
The cry of the persecuted.
2 Be pleased, O God, to rescue me! Make haste to help me!
3 Let those who seek my life be put to shame and disgrace. Let those who want me destroyed be turned back in confusion.
4 Let those who say, “Aha, Aha!” to me feel consternation.
5 May all who seek you be glad and rejoice in you. May all who love your saving power say evermore, “Great is the Lord!”
6 But I am afflicted and needy; come to me quickly, O God, my help and my Savior. O God, do not delay!
