Psalms 70 WBT
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], O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD.
2Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
3Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
4Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
5But I [am] poor and needy: make haste to me, O God: thou [art] my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no delay.
