Psalm 70

This scripture I clung to in the first weeks. It is still framed in my bathroom.

 ¹ Hasten, O God, to save me;
   come quickly, LORD, to help me.
 ² May those who want to take my life
   be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin
   be turned back in disgrace.
³ May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
   turn back because of their shame.
⁴ But may all who seek you
   rejoice and be glad in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
   “The LORD is great!”
 ⁵ But as for me, I am poor and needy;
   come quickly to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
   LORD, do not delay.
