The Psalter of David
Psalm 69
1 To the head of the choir. Psalm of David. In remembrance.
2 Make haste, O God, deliver me, hasten, O Lord, to help me.
3 Let them be ashamed and ashamed of those who seek my soul! May those who wish me harm be turned back and ridiculed!
4 Let them turn back because of their reproach to me, saying, 'Well done! good!"
5 Let all those who seek thee rejoice and be gladness in thee, and let them that love thy salvation say without ceasing, 'Great is God!'
6 But I am poor and needy; God, hurry up to me! Thou art my help and my Deliverer; God! Not slow.
Psalm 70
1 In thee, O Lord, I trust, that I may never be ashamed.
2 In thy righteousness deliver me, and set me free; incline thy ear unto me, and save me.
3 Be I a firm refuge where I may always take refuge; Thou hast commanded me to be saved, for thou art my stronghold and my fortress.
4 My God! deliver me out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the wicked, and out of the hand of the wicked, and of the oppressor;
5 For thou art my hope, O Lord God, my hope from my youth.
6 In thee have I rested from the womb; Thou hast brought me out of my mother's womb; My praise shall not cease unto thee.
7 To many I have been as a wonder, but thou art my sure hope.
8 Let my lips be filled with praise, Thy splendor all the day.
9 Cast me not away in my old age; When my strength fails, forsake me not;
10 For my enemies speak against me, and they that lie in wait for my soul take counsel among themselves,
11 saying, "God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one who delivers."
12 God! do not depart from me; My god! Hurry to help me.
13 Let those who are enemies against my soul be ashamed and perish, let them be covered with shame and disgrace who seek evil against me.
