• Psalm 70:1-5
    New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures

    • 70 O God, save me;

      O Jehovah, hurry to help me.+

       2 May those seeking to take my life*

      Be put to shame and disgraced.

      May those who delight in my calamity

      Retreat in humiliation.

       3 May those who are saying: “Aha! Aha!”

      Be driven back in shame.

       4 But let those who are seeking you

      Exult and rejoice in you.+

      May those who love your acts of salvation always say:

      “May God be magnified!”

       5 But I am helpless and poor;+

      O God, act quickly in my behalf.+

      You are my helper and my rescuer;+

      O Jehovah, do not delay.+
