PSALM 70 7 6 7 6 D

1 Make haste, O God, to save me;
O LORD, come to my aid.
2 May those who seek to kill me
be utterly dismayed.
May all who seek my ruin
be turned back in disgrace,
3 And may all those who mock me
with shame their steps retrace.

4 But may all those who seek you
rejoice in you always;
May those who love salvation
say, “To our God be praise!”
5 Yet I am poor and needy;
come quickly, God, I pray.
You are my help and saviour;
O LORD, do not delay.
