Psalms 70
70
A Cry for Help
To the Pure and Shining One
David’s poetic lament to always remember
1Please, Lord! Come quickly and rescue me!
God, show me your favor and restore me.
2Let all who seek my life be humiliated and confused.
God, send them sprawling, all who wish me evil;
they just want me dead.
3Scoff at every scoffer and cause them all to be utter failures!
Let them be ashamed and horrified over their complete defeat.
4But let all who passionately seek you erupt with excitement and joy
over what you’ve done!
Let all your devoted lovers, who continually rejoice in the Savior, # 70:4 This verse contains the Hebrew root word for Yeshua.
say aloud, “How great and glorious is our God!”
5Lord, in my place of weakness and need,
won’t you turn your heart toward me and hurry to help me?
For you are my Savior, and I’m always in your thoughts.
So don’t delay to deliver me now, for you are my God.

PSALM 70.
1A psalm for David. Of the sons of Jonadab, and the former captives. In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion:
2deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me. Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.
3Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe. For thou art my firmament and my refuge.
4Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.
5For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth;
6By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother's womb thou art my protector. Of thee shall I continually sing:
7I run become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.
8Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long.
9Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.
10For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together,
11Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.
12O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help.
13Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt.
14But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.
15My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long. Because I have not knows learning,
16I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.
17Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.
18And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not, Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come: Thy power,
19and thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?
20How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth:
21Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me.
22For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.
23My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed.
24Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.
