1For the leader; of David. For remembrance.
2Graciously rescue me, God!a
Come quickly to help me, LORD!b
3Let those who seek my life
be confused and put to shame.c
Let those who desire my ruin
turn back in disgrace.
4Let those who say “Aha!”d
turn back in their shame.
5But may all who seek you
rejoice and be glad in you,
Those who long for your help
always say, “God be glorified!”e
6I am miserable and poor.
God, come to me quickly!
You are my help and deliverer.
LORD, do not delay!
* [Psalm 70] A lament of a poor and afflicted person (Ps 70:6) who has no resource except God, and who cries out to be saved from the enemy. The Psalm is almost identical to Ps 40:14–17.
