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!”
