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.
English Revised Version
Psalms 70
1Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O LORD. 2Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward and brought to dishonour that delight in my hurt. 3Let them be turned back by reason of their shame that say, Aha, Aha. 4Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified. 5But I am poor and needy; make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
