Psalm 70
Vers 1
Be pleased to save me, God, I pray;
O LORD, to my deliverance hasten
and with confusion all those chasten
who seek to take my life away.
May those who plan my ruination
be humbled and in panic flee.
May those who jeer and laugh at me
retreat in shame and consternation.
Vers 2
But may all those who seek your face,
who love and cherish your salvation,
be glad and sing with jubilation,
“Exalted be the God of grace.”
But I am poor and weak as ever;
come quickly, God, and rescue me,
for you alone can set me free.
Do not delay, O LORD my Saviour.
