Psalms 70

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 [For the choirmaster Of David In commemoration] Be pleased, God, to rescue me, Yahweh, comequickly and help me!	1 Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him.
2 Shame and dismay to those who seek my life! Back with them! Let them be humiliated who delight inmy misfortunes.	2 O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.
3 Let them shrink away covered with shame, those who say to me, 'Aha, aha!'	3 Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:
4 But joy and happiness in you to al who seek you. Let them ceaselessly cry, 'God is great', who loveyour saving power.	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: 'T is well, 't is well.
5 Poor and needy as I am, God, come quickly to me! Yahweh, my helper, my Saviour, do not delay!	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 But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
