A Call for Help

70 God, come to my rescue.
    Lord, hurry to help me.
May those who seek to kill me be publicly humiliated.
    May those who take pleasure in my harm
        be turned back in humiliation.
May those who say “Aha! Aha!”
    be turned back because of their shameful deeds.[a]

Let those who seek you greatly rejoice in you.
    Let those who love your deliverance say,
        “May God be continuously exalted.”
As for me, I am poor and needy.
    God, come quickly to me.
You are my helper and my deliverer.
    Lord, please do not delay.
