Psalms 70:1

Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your anger, neither discipline me in your wrath.

Yahweh is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Yahweh is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?

Don’t hide your face from me. Don’t put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Don’t abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.

To you, Yahweh, I call. My rock, don’t be deaf to me, lest, if you are silent to me, I would become like those who go down into the pit.

Be pleased, Yahweh, to deliver me. Hurry to help me, Yahweh.

But as for me, I will walk in my integrity. Redeem me, and be merciful to me.

Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.

You have seen it, Yahweh. Don’t keep silent. Lord, don’t be far from me.

Behold, you have driven me out today from the surface of the ground. I will be hidden from your face, and I will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth. Whoever finds me will kill me.”

Don’t be far from me, for trouble is near. For there is no one to help.

Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.

You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

Yahweh, don’t rebuke me in your wrath, neither chasten me in your hot displeasure.

But I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. You are my help and my deliverer. Don’t delay, my God.

Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.

I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,

Hear my prayer, Yahweh! Let my cry come to you.

In overflowing wrath I hid my face from you for a moment, but with everlasting loving kindness I will have mercy on you,” says Yahweh your Redeemer.

So they, and all that belonged to them went down alive into Sheol. The earth closed on them, and they perished from among the assembly.

For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure with which Yahweh was angry against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also.

He appointed some of the Levites to minister before Yahweh’s ark, and to commemorate, to thank, and to praise Yahweh, the God of Israel:

the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the attendance of his ministers, their clothing, his cup bearers also, their clothing, and his ascent by which he went up to Yahweh’s house; there was no more spirit in her.

and Mattaniah the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who was the chief to begin the thanksgiving in prayer, and Bakbukiah, the second among his brothers; and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me. My spirit drinks up their poison. The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.

or, ‘Deliver me from the adversary’s hand?’ or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?’

Why do you not pardon my disobedience, and take away my iniquity? For now will I lie down in the dust. You will seek me diligently, but I will not be.”

Shall it go down with me to the gates of Sheol, or descend together into the dust?”

When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? He is over a nation or a man alike,

Why do you stand far off, Yahweh? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?

How long, Yahweh? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?

But don’t be far off, Yahweh. You are my help. Hurry to help me!

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.

But I trust in you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my God.”

Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation.

Why do you hide your face, and forget our affliction and our oppression?

But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me.

Hear my prayer, God. Listen to the words of my mouth.

Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.

He alone is my rock, my salvation, and my fortress. I will never be greatly shaken.

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress. I will not be shaken.

which my lips promised, and my mouth spoke, when I was in distress.

Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress. Answer me speedily!

Draw near to my soul and redeem it. Ransom me because of my enemies.

But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t delay.

God, don’t be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.

In my distress, I cried to Yahweh. He answered me.

Yahweh, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.

Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need. Deliver me from my persecutors, for they are too strong for me.

Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into the pit.

I chattered like a swallow or a crane. I moaned like a dove. My eyes weaken looking upward. Lord, I am oppressed. Be my security.”

Don’t be furious, Yahweh. Don’t remember iniquity forever. Look and see, we beg you, we are all your people.

Yahweh, correct me, but gently; not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing.

You hope of Israel, its Savior in the time of trouble, why should you be as a foreigner in the land, and as a wayfaring man who turns aside to stay for a night?

You came near in the day that I called on you. You said, “Don’t be afraid.”

Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy.
