Text:To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David to bring to Remembrance

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

1 O God to rescue me;
Lord to mine help make haste,
2 Who seek my soul asham'd let be,
And let them be abash'd,
3 Turn'd back be they ha, ha, that say,
Their shame for to requite.

4 Let those that seek thee all
Be glad and joy in thee;
Who love thy health, say still they shall
God magnified be.
5 But poor and needy I
Haste God to me, I pray.
Thou art my help and liberty,
O God do not delay.
