For the choir director; by David; to be kept in mind.

70 Come quickly to rescue me, O God!
Come quickly to help me, O Lord!
Let those who seek my life
be confused and put to shame.
Let those who want my downfall
be turned back and disgraced.
Let those who say, “Aha! Aha!”
be turned back because of their own shame.
