Psalm 70

Hast, Lord; from such as would devoure,
Defend by thy almightie Power:
Delay not in so fear'd an Houre.

But let confusion seaze on those,
Who seeke my Soule; to shame expose:
Be sudden in their overthrowes.

Let those with infamie returne;
Dejected, and unpittied, mourne;
Who laugh, and blast me with their scorne.

Who love thy Name, with joy invest:
Let them in shades of Safetie feast;
And ever say, The Lord be blest.

But I am poore, and full of need:
Hast, Lord; deliver me with speed;
Our Strength, our Help, from Thee proceed.
