Psalm 70

Words: The Scottish Psalter

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

S. M. First Version

   1     Lord, haste me to deliver;
         with speed, Lord, succor me.
   2  Let them that for my soul do seek
         shamed and confounded be:
         Turned back be they, and shamed,
         that in my hurt delight.
   3  Turned back be they, Ha, ha! that say,
         their shaming to requite.
   4     In thee let all be glad,
         and joy that seek for thee:
      Let them who thy salvation love
         say still, God prais�d be.
   5     I poor and needy am;
         come, Lord, and make no stay:
      My help thou and deliv'rer art;
         O Lord, make no delay.
C. M. Second Version
   1  Make haste, O God, me to preserve;
         with speed, Lord, succor me.
   2  Let them that for my soul do seek
         shamed and confounded be:
      Let them be turned back, and shamed,
         that in my hurt delight.
   3  Turned back be they, Ha, ha! that say,
         their shaming to requite.
   4  O Lord, in thee let all be glad,
         and joy that seek for thee:
      Let them who thy salvation love
         say still, God prais�d be.
   5  But I both poor and needy am;
         come, Lord, and make no stay:
      My help thou and deliv'rer art;
         O Lord, make no delay.
