Psalms 70

1 TO THE OVERSEER. BY DAVID. “TO CAUSE TO REMEMBER.” O God, [hurry] to deliver me, O YHWH, hurry to help me.

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 Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my 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 turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, “Aha, aha.”

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

4 Let all those seeking You rejoice and be glad in You, And let those loving Your salvation Continually say, “God is 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 And I [am] poor and needy, O God, hurry to me, You [are] my help and my deliverer, O YHWH, do not linger!

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