Psalms 70

1 He praieth to be right spedely delivered. 2 He desireth the shame of his enemies. 4 And the joyful comfort of all those that seek the Lord.
¶ To him that excelleth. A P alme of David to put in aremembrance.
1.O *God, bhaste thee to deliver me: make haste to help me, ô Lord.
2.Let them be cconfounded and put to shame, that seek my soul: let them be turned backward and put to rebuke, that desire mine hurt.
3.Let them be turned back for a reward of their dshame, which said, Aha, aha.
4.But let all those that seek thee, be joyful and glad in thee, and let all that love thy salvation, say always, God be praised.
5.Now I am epoor and needy: ô God, make haste to me: thou art mine helper, and my deliverer: ô Lord, make no tarrying.
