Psalm 70: Don’t Delay, Yahweh Blues

** Psalm 70 is a heartfelt cry for deliverance, written by King David in a time of distress and persecution. David’s enemies were closing in on him, and he felt trapped, vulnerable, and in need of God’s intervention. This psalm is one of the shortest in the Bible, yet it carries a powerful plea: "Hurry, God, to deliver me." David’s sense of urgency and deep reliance on God's faithfulness are clearly expressed in these words. He was overwhelmed by opposition and needed God's swift and merciful help, hoping for those who sought his ruin to be confounded and turned back in disgrace. Amid this turmoil, David also expresses his hope and trust in the Lord, knowing that all who seek God’s salvation will find joy and victory. It’s a song of desperate prayer and powerful faith.

** Psalm 70 (WEB Translation)

Hurry, God, to deliver me.
Hurry to help me, Yahweh.

Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul.
Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

Let them be turned because of their shame
who say, “Aha! Aha!”

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you.
Let those who love your salvation continually say,
“Let God be exalted!”

But I am poor and needy.
Come to me quickly, God.
You are my help and my deliverer.
Yahweh, don’t delay.
Don’t Delay, Yahweh Blues (Lyrics)

Verse 1
Oh, hurry now, Lord, come and save me,
Hurry, Yahweh, please don’t delay.
Enemies gather, they’re all around me,
Tryin’ to drag this soul away.

Chorus
Don’t delay, Yahweh, be my strength, be my shield,
Lift me up from the depths, oh, my help and my heal.
In the dark, I’m waitin’ for your light to break through,
Oh, Yahweh, don’t delay — I’m callin’ out to you.

Verse 2
Those who seek me harm, turn ‘em back, ashamed,
With their whispers and their shameful lies.
Let ‘em fall on their own disgrace,
For they mock me with their “Aha!” cries.

Chorus
Don’t delay, Yahweh, be my strength, be my shield,
Lift me up from the depths, oh, my help and my heal.
In the dark, I’m waitin’ for your light to break through,
Oh, Yahweh, don’t delay — I’m callin’ out to you.

Bridge
But let those who seek you sing and shout,
Let ‘em dance in your joy, cryin’ out loud!
“Let God be exalted!” they say in praise,
While I’m still in the valley, waitin’ for your grace.

Verse 3
I’m poor and needy, standin’ all alone,
Come quickly, Lord, don’t leave me on my own.
You are my help, my deliverer true,
Yahweh, don’t delay — I’m dependin’ on you.

Outro
Oh, hurry now, Lord, come and save me,
Hurry, Yahweh, please don’t delay.
Enemies gather, but I got faith in my soul,
With you on my side, I know I’ll be whole.
