Psalms 70

David urgently pleads with **YHWH** to hasten deliverance from enemies seeking his life, invoking shame and confusion upon those who mock him with 'Aha, Aha!' (הֵאָח הֵאָח). He contrasts this by praying for joy among those seeking God, humbly acknowledging himself as poor (עָנִי) and needy (אֶבְיוֹן), affirming YHWH as his help and deliverer without delay.[1][2]
