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.
