Chapter 69

An other prayer of David, when he was persecuted by Absalom: made in a Psalm after his delivery.

1. 1

   Unto the end, a Psalm of David, in remembrance, that our Lord saved him.

2. 2

   O God intend unto my help: Lord make haste to help me.

3. 3

   Let them be confounded and be ashamed, that seek my soul.

4. 4

   Let them be turned away backward, and be ashamed that will me evils. Let them be turned away forthwith ashamed, that say to me: Well, well.

5. 5

   Let all that seek thee rejoice, and be glad in thee, and let them say always: Our Lord be magnified: which love thy salvation.

6. 6

   But I am needy and poor: O God help me, thou art my helper, and deliverer: o Lord be not slack.
