Psalm 70 For the Overcomer. Through David to bring to remembrance

(tune "Precious Lord, Take My Hand" by Thomas A. Dorsey 6.6.9.6.6.9)
 
1 1 O God. De-liver me.
O LORD haste   to help me.
2 Ashamed and   confounded   let them be,
those seeking   for my soul.
Enjoying  my trouble,
let them turn   backward and  confused be.

 
2 3 Let them turn  'round again
on account  of their shame
that say, "Ah - ha Aha!"  pointedly.
4 Let all those   seeking Thee
be glad and  joy in Thee
and say how   great is God  constantly,

 
3 loving Thy salvation.
5 But I'm in   affliction
and needy.  O God haste   unto me.
You're my help   and Savior.
Do not de-lay O LORD.
Let the world  know that You  are ruling.
