Psalms 70

1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory. Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

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

2 Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

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

3 Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

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

4 Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be 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 But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.

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