Psalms 70
To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David, for the memorial offering.
1Be pleased, O God, to deliver me!
O LORD, make haste to help me!
2Let them be put to shame and confusion
who seek my life!
Let them be turned back and brought to dishonour
who desire my hurt!
3Let them be appalled because of their shame
who say, “Aha, Aha!”
