Psalms 70:5

3 ^aLet them be turned back because of their shame,
Who say,¹ “Aha, aha!”

4 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
And let those who love Your salvation say continually,
“Let God be magnified!”

5 ^aBut I am poor and needy;
^bMake haste to me, O God!
You are my help and my deliverer;
O Lord, do not delay.

Psalms 70:5

But I am poor and needy - ani veebyon , I am a poor man, and a beggar - an afflicted beggar; a sense of my poverty causes me to beg.

Thou art my help - I know thou hast enough, and to spare; and therefore I come to thee.

Make no tarrying - My wants are many, my danger great, my time short. O God, delay not!
