Psalms 70:3 In-Context

1 God! Please hurry to my rescue! God, come quickly to my side!

2 Those who are out to get me - let them fall all over themselves. Those who relish my downfall - send them down a blind alley.

3 Give them a taste of their own medicine, those gossips off clucking their tongues.

4 Let those on the hunt for you sing and celebrate. Let all who love your saving way say over and over, "God is mighty!"

5 But I've lost it. I'm wasted. God - quickly, quickly! Quick to my side, quick to my rescue! God, don't lose a minute.
