Psalm 70

To the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David, to bring to remembrance or make memorial.

Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord!

Let them be put to shame and confounded that seek and demand my life; let them be turned backward and brought to confusion and dishonor who desire and delight in my hurt.

Let them be turned back and appalled because of their shame and disgrace who say, Aha, aha!
