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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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