A Psalm of David.

Come Quickly to Me

Psalm 70:1–5

1<A Psalm. Of David.> Lord, I have made my cry to you; come to me quickly; give ear to my voice, when it goes up to you.+ 2Let my prayer be ordered before you like a sweet smell; and let the lifting up of my hands be like the evening offering.+ 3O Lord, keep a watch over my mouth; keep the door of my lips.+ 4Keep my heart from desiring any evil thing, or from taking part in the sins of the evil-doers with men who do wrong: and let me have no part in their good things.+ 5Let the upright give me punishment; and let the god-fearing man put me in the right way; but I will not let the oil of sinners come on my head: when they do evil I will give myself to prayer.+ 6When destruction comes to their judges by the side of the rock, they will give ear to my words, for they are sweet.+ 7Our bones are broken up at the mouth of the underworld, as the earth is broken by the plough.+ 8But my eyes are turned to you, O Lord God: my hope is in you; let not my soul be given up to death.+ 9Keep me from the net which they have put down for me, and from the designs of the workers of evil.+ 10Let the sinners be taken in the nets which they themselves have put down, while I go free.+
