A prayer for help

PSALM 70

Help Me, O Lord, This Day

 

Help me, O Lord, this day

Come swiftly to my aid

Though Satan tries to sway

May faith in you not fade

 

REFRAIN

Let God be exalted and evermore be praised!

Give glory to His name.

 

May those who seek my harm

Be quickly put to shame

Keep faith within me warm

To praise your holy name.

REFRAIN

 

Turn not away your face

From those who question you.

But fill them with your grace

That they may you pursue.

REFRAIN

 

O Lord, do not delay

Come and deliver me

In all your bright array

Come save eternally.

REFRAIN

Another of David’s prayers in troubling times.  He seeks God’s intervention but quickly brings to his remembrance God’s help in times past.  All this is evidenced by his overwhelming joy and gladness for God’s work of salvation.
