Psalm 70
A psalm written by David for the choir director, asking God to help David.
1 God, please save me!
Yahweh, come quickly to help me!
2 Disgrace those who are happy about my troubles, those who are trying to kill me.
Chase them away; make everyone shame them, for they want to see me suffer.
3 I hope that you will cause them to become dismayed and ashamed
because they have been happy about my troubles.
4 But I hope that everyone who prays to you will rejoice because of you.
I hope that everyone who waits for you to rescue them will say,
“God is great!”
5 As for me, I am poor and needy;
so God, come quickly to help me!
Yahweh, you are the one who saves and helps me,
so please come quickly!
