The Whole Booke of Psalmes ‎#37

37. Deus in adiutorium

1 O God, to me take heed,
I help of thee require:
O Lord of hosts, with hast and speed,
help, help, I thee desire.
2 With shame confound them all,
that seek my soule to spill:
Rebuke them back with blame to fall
that think and wish me ill.

3 Confound them that apply,
and seek to work me shame:
And at my harme do laugh and cry,
for so, there goes the game.
4 But let them joyfull be
in thee with joy and wealth:
Which only trust and seek to thee,
and to thy saving health.

5 That they may say alwaies,
in mirth and one accord:
All glory, honour, land and praise
be given to thee Lord.
6 But I am weake and poore,
come Lord thine aid I lack:
Thou art my stay and help, therefore
make speed and be not slack.
