Psalm 70

Come Quickly, LORD

When AfraidComfortJoy

This is a short, urgent prayer — David needs help right now! He calls out to God to hurry and help him. He is poor and needy and knows that God is his helper. Those who seek God will be glad when He comes.

  1. 1Make haste, O God, to rescue me; O LORD, come quickly to help me.
  2. 2May those who seek my life be put to shame and confusion; may all who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.
  3. 3May those who say "Aha! Aha!" turn back because of their shame.
  4. 4But may all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, "Let God be exalted!"
  5. 5Yet I am poor and needy; come quickly to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
