Come Quickly to Me
(Psalms 70:1–5)
A Psalm of David.
I call upon You, O LORD; come quickly to me. Psa 70:5Psa 40:13Psa 71:12Psa 143:7Psa 69:17-18Job 7:21Psa 22:19Psa 143:1
Hear my voice when I call to You.
May my prayer be set before You like incense, Rev 8:3-4Rev 5:81Ti 2:8Dan 9:21Mal 1:11Pro 15:8Luk 1:9-10Psa 63:4
my uplifted hands like the evening offering.
Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; Jas 1:26Psa 39:1Mic 7:5Psa 34:13Jas 3:2Psa 71:8Psa 17:3-5
keep watch at the door of my lips.
Do not let my heart be drawn to any evil thing Mat 6:13Psa 119:361Co 15:332Co 6:17Isa 63:171Ki 8:581Co 10:31Jas 1:13
or take part in works of wickedness
with men who do iniquity;
let me not feast on their delicacies.
Let the righteous man strike me; Ecc 7:5Rev 3:19Gal 6:1Pro 27:5-6Pro 25:12Pro 19:25Pro 9:8-9Gal 2:11-14
let his rebuke be an act of loving devotion.
It is oil for my head; let me not refuse it.
For my prayer is ever against the deeds of the wicked.
When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, 2Ch 25:121Ch 10:1-71Ch 11:1-31Ch 12:381Ch 13:21Sa 31:1-82Sa 1:17-272Sa 2:4-6
the people will listen to my words,
for they are pleasant.
As when one plows and breaks up the soil, Psa 53:5Rom 8:36Psa 44:22Rev 11:8-91Sa 22:18-192Co 1:9Heb 11:37
so our bones have been scattered at the mouth of Sheol.
But my eyes are fixed on You, Psa 123:1-22Ch 20:12Isa 41:17Psa 102:17Psa 25:15-17Jhn 14:18Psa 2:12Psa 143:3-4
O GOD the Lord.
In You I seek refuge;
do not leave my soul defenseless. 1
Keep me from the snares they have laid for me, Luk 20:20Psa 119:110Psa 140:5Pro 13:14Psa 38:12Jer 18:22Psa 142:3
and from the lures of evildoers.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, Psa 35:8Psa 140:9Est 7:10Pro 11:8Psa 64:7-8Psa 7:15-16Psa 37:14-15
while I pass by in safety.
