About this chapter

Psalms 70United Kingdom of Israel

DavidKing of Israel, warrior-poet, worship leader. Set in Under urgent threat from enemies. David fires off an emergency prayer — short, urgent, desperate. Enemies are closing in fast and he needs God's help immediately, not later. This is a 911 call to heaven, asking God to shame his attackers and rescue those who love Him.

Psalms 70:170:1

Read when: Read this when you need to pray an emergency prayer and can't find the words.

1Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, Yahweh. 2Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace. 3Let them be turned because of their shame Who say, "Aha! Aha!" 4Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, "Let God be exalted!" 5But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don't delay.
