Psalm 70

1 Written by David for the permanent collection to preserve as a reminder.
Mighty God, quickly accelerate Your activities to rescue me from danger. 2 Let those become disgraced and pale with terror who try to snuff out my life. Let the result of those who delight to hurt me be confusion, exhaustion and complete shame. 3 As a consequence of their mocking and gloating over me, turn them away.

4 But let those who strive to ‘see your face’, God, experience real joy in Your presence. Let those who intensely long to be with You say all the time “Our God is Awesome and Mighty”.

5 As for me, God, I meekly, humbly request Your help. Act quickly and don’t delay to rescue me to safety.
