A Psalm of David.

Come Quickly to Me

Psalm 70:1–5

1LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.+ 2Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.+ 3Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.+ 4Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practise deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.+ 5Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.+ 6Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.+ 7“As when one ploughs and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.”+ 8For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Don’t leave my soul destitute.+ 9Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.+ 10Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.+
