Psalms 70

1 For the end, by David for a remembrance, that the Lord may save me. Draw nigh, O God, to my help.

To the victorie `of Dauid, `to haue mynde. God, biholde thou in to myn heelp; Lord, hast thou to helpe me.

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to shame, that wish me evil.

Be thei schent, and aschamed; that seken my lijf. Be thei turned a bak; and schame thei, that wolen yuels to me.

3 Let them that say to me, Aha, aha, be turned back and put to shame immediately.

Be thei turned awei anoon, and schame thei; that seien to me, Wel! wel!

4 Let all that seek thee exult and be glad in thee: and let those that love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

Alle men that seken thee, make fulli ioie, and be glad in thee; and thei that louen thin heelthe, seie euere, The Lord be magnyfied.

5 But I am poor and needy; O God, help me: thou art my helper and deliverer, O Lord, delay not.

Forsothe Y am a nedi man, and pore; God, helpe thou me. Thou art myn helper and my delyuerere; Lord, tarye thou not.
