Psalms 70

1 To him excelleth. A Psalme of David to put in remembrance. O God, haste thee to deliuer mee: make haste to helpe me, O Lord.

For the leader. Of David. For commemoration. Quickly, God, deliver me, hasten to help me, Lord.

2 Let them be confounded and put to shame, that seeke my soule: let them bee turned backewarde and put to rebuke, that desire mine hurt.

May those who are seeking my life, be ashamed and confounded.

3 Let them be turned backe for a rewarde of their shame, which said, Aha, aha.

May those who delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonor.

4 But let all those that seeke thee, be ioyfull and glad in thee, and let all that loue thy saluation, say alwaies, God be praised.

But may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all who love your salvation say, “Glory to God,” evermore.

5 Nowe I am poore and needie: O God, make haste to me: thou art mine helper, and my deliuerer: O Lord, make no tarying.

I am weak and needy: make haste, God, to me. You are my help and deliverer; Lord, don’t delay.
