Psalm 70 complete
[1] To the choir master. Di Davide. In memory.
[2] Come and save me, O God, come quickly, Lord, to my help.
[3] Those who attempt my life are confused and blushed.
Let those who want my ruin go back and be ashamed.
[4] Out of shame turn those who mock me back.
[5] Joy and great joy for those who seek you; always say: "God is great" those who love your salvation.
[6] But I am poor and unhappy, come quickly, my God; you are my help and my savior; Sir, don't delay.
