Psalm 70
1 Make
haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me,
O Lord.
2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after
my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to
confusion, that desire my hurt.
3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their
shame that say, Aha, aha.
4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad
in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say
continually, Let God be magnified.
5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O
God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Lord, make
no tarrying.

- The Book of David
The Book of Psalms which contains Psalm 70 is also referred to
as the Book of David. David reigned over Judah and Israel
was the second king of the united Kingdom of Israel. King
David is credited with the authorship of many of the Psalms
and the collection is therefore often referred to as the
Book of David. |
