70
For the music director. A psalm of David. For a memorial.*
1 God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!
2 Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.
3 May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.
4 But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”
5 As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!
* 70: This psalm is taken from Psalms 40 with a few minor changes.
