Chapter overview
Psalm 70 compresses crisis into an urgent appeal: hurry to help. The petitioner asks that malicious pursuers turn back, that seekers rejoice, and that everyone who loves salvation continually magnify God while the poor still wait for deliverance.

About Psalms: book summary and outline →

1God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!
2Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.
3May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.
4But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”
5As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!
