Psalms 70 – Make Haste to Help Me, O LORD
A short, urgent plea for swift deliverance.
Short and urgent, this chapter of the Psalms overview repeats David's plea to make haste in helping him, following the drawn-out anguish of Psalms 69 with a compressed, breathless request for rescue.
To the chief Musician, [A Psalm] of David to bring to remembrance. [Make haste], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
\\70:1\\To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David to bring to remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
\\70:2\\Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
\\70:3\\Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
\\70:4\\Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
\\70:5\\But I am poor and needy: make haste to me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no delay.
