1
Hurry, God, to deliver me.Come quickly to help me, The LORD. +
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 shameWho 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.The LORD, don't delay.
Ps 70:1-5. This corresponds to Ps 40:13-17 with a very few variations, as "turn back" (Ps 70:3) for "desolate," and "make haste unto me" (Ps 70:5) for "thinketh upon me." It forms a suitable appendix to the preceding, and is called "a Psalm to bring to remembrance," as the thirty-eighth [see on Ps 38:1, title].
