Psalms 70
King James Version (KJV) · English
1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord. 2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt. 3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha. 4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. 5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.

Psalms 70 — Introduction
PSALM 70
Psa 70:1-5. This corresponds to Psa 40:13-17 with a very few variations, as "turn back" (Psa 70:3) for "desolate," and "make haste unto me" (Psa 70:5) for "thinketh upon me." It forms a suitable appendix to the preceding, and is called "a Psalm to bring to remembrance," as the thirty-eighth [see on Psa 38:1, title].
