Psalms 70:1

Psalm 70 is a brief but urgent plea of David for deliverance, calling on God to make haste to help him and to shame and confound those who seek his life and desire his hurt. He prays that those who mock with 'Aha, aha' will be turned back for a reward of their shame. The psalm closes by asking that all who seek the Lord will rejoice and be glad in Him, that those who love His salvation will say continually, 'Let God be magnified,' and that God will not delay His help, since the psalmist is poor and needy.
