Psalm 70 (WEBP)
[1] Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.
[2] Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
[3] Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!”
[4] Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, “Let God be exalted!”
[5] But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t delay.
