The Psalms 70

A Prayer for Deliverance

Ps. 40.13-17

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.

Let them be ashamed and confounded

that seek after my soul:

let them be turned backward, and put to confusion,

that desire my hurt.

Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame

that say, Aha, aha.

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.

But I am poor and needy;

make haste unto me, O God:

thou art my help and my deliverer;

O LORD, make no tarrying.
