Psalms 70

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. For a memorial. God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!

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

2 Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.

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

3 May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.

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

4 But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”

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 As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!

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