Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Darby Translation
Psalms 70
1To the chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David: to bring to remembrance. Make haste, OGod, to deliver me; Jehovah, [hasten] to my help. 2Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned backward and confounded that take pleasure in mine adversity; 3Let them turn back because of their shame that say, Aha! Aha! 4Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually, LetGod be magnified! 5But I am afflicted and needy: make haste unto me, OGod. Thou art my help and my deliverer: O Jehovah, make no delay.
