Psalms 70:1
Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!
2 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.
3 May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
