For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder.

70 Hurry, God, to deliver me.
    Come quickly to help me, Yahweh.
Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul.
    Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
Let them be turned because of their shame
    who say, “Aha! Aha!”
