Psalms 69

¹ Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him.

² O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.

³ Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:

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: Tis well, tis well .

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. [4] "Tis well, tis well" : Euge, euge. St. Jerome renders it, vah, vah! which is the voice of one insulting and deriding. Some understand it as a detestation of deceitful flatterers.

⁶ But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay. Book of Psalms next > Psalm 69 next > TOP OF PAGE side_ads("../") var sc_project = 12672635; var sc_invisible = 1; var sc_security = "b8696459";
