For remembrance. ^psalm-70-1 2 Graciously rescue me, God! ^psalm-70-2 Come quickly to help me, LORD! 3 Let those who seek my life ^psalm-70-3 be confused and put to shame. Let those who desire my ruin turn back in disgrace. 4 Let those who say “Aha!” ^psalm-70-4 turn back in their shame. 5 But may all who seek you ^psalm-70-5 rejoice and be glad in you, Those who long for your help always say, “God be glorified!” 6 I am miserable and poor. ^psalm-70-6 God, come to me quickly!
