Psalms
Chapter 70
MAKE HASTE, O GOD, TO DELIVER ME; MAKE HASTE TO HELP ME, O LORD.
Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.
Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.
Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.
But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
Summary
David urgently petitions God to make haste to deliver and help him, requesting that his enemies be ashamed and confounded. He desires that those who seek God rejoice and magnify him, while acknowledging himself as poor and needy, requesting God make no tarrying.
