Come to me quickly

(Psalm 70:1-5)
1
LORD, I have called on you. Come to me quickly! Listen to my voice when I call to you.
2
Let my prayer be set before you like incense; the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.
3
Set a watch, LORD, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
4
Don’t incline my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. Don’t let me eat of their delicacies.
5
Let the righteous strike me, it is kindness; let him reprove me, it is like oil on the head; don’t let my head refuse it; Yet my prayer is always against evil deeds.
6
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. They will hear my words, for they are well spoken.
7
As when one plows and breaks up the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.”(a)
8
For my eyes are on you, LORD, the Lord. I take refuge in you. Don’t leave my soul destitute.
9
Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10
Let the wicked fall together into their own nets while I pass by.
