Psalms

A Psalm of David.

Come Quickly to Me

Psalm 70:1–5

1Jehovah, I have called upon thee; make haste unto me: Give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.+ 2Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee; The lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.+ 3Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.+ 4Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practise deeds of wickedness With men that work iniquity: And let me not eat of their dainties.+ 5Let the righteous smite me, [it shall be] a kindness; And let him reprove me, [it shall be as] oil upon the head; Let not my head refuse it: For even in their wickedness shall my prayer continue.+ 6Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock; And they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.+ 7As when one ploweth and cleaveth the earth, Our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.+ 8For mine eyes are unto thee, O Jehovah the Lord: In thee do I take refuge; leave not my soul destitute.+ 9Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, And from the gins of the workers of iniquity.+ 10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, Whilst that I withal escape.+
