Psalm 69

A prayer in persecution.

1. 1

   Unto the end. A psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him.

2. 2

   O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.

3. 3

   Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:

4. 4

   Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: ‘Tis well, ‘tis well.

5. 5

   Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.

6. 6

   But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O lord, make no delay.
