Psalms 70 DBY
Summary: A short, urgent plea for immediate help, Psalm 70 repeats, with only minor changes, the closing verses of Psalm 40 (40:13-17) as a freestanding psalm headed "to bring to remembrance." Its opening cry sets the tone for the whole piece, "O God, make haste to deliver me! O LORD, make haste to help me!" (v. 1), a refrain repeated at its close (v. 5). It contrasts a wish for enemies to be "turned back and brought to dishonor" with a wish that those who seek God rejoice and continually say, "God is great!" (v. 2-4).
1To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance. Make haste, OGod, to deliver me; Jehovah, [hasten] to my help.
2Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity;
3Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha!
4Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, LetGod be magnified!
5But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, OGod. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.
