Psalms 70

1 For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

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.

2 May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

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.

3 May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

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

4 May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

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.

5 But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.

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