Psalm 70

A Prayer for Help#HEBREW TITLE: A psalm by David; a lament.

1 Save me, O God!

Lord, help me now!

2 May those who try to kill me

be defeated and confused.

May those who are happy because of my troubles

be turned back and disgraced.

3 May those who make fun of me

be dismayed by their defeat.

4 May all who come to you

be glad and joyful.

May all who are thankful for your salvation

always say, "How great is God!"

5 I am weak and poor;

come to me quickly, O God.

You are my savior and my Lord—

hurry to my aid!
