Psalm 69
God come to my aid
GOD COME TO MY AID: Lord/ make haste to help me./ Let them be thrown into confusion /and be ashamed:/ that seek my soul./ Let them be turned away backward/ and blush for shame: that desire evils to me./ Let them presently be turned away and blush for shame: that say to me bravo bravo./ Let all that seek you rejoice and be glad in you:/ and let them say always the lord be magnified:/ which love your salvation./ But I am needy and poor/ God help me./ You are my helper and deliverer:/ lord make no delay./


Psalm 70
[on book: In you lord]
IN YOU LORD I HAVE HOPED/ let me not be thrown into confusion for ever:/ in your justice deliver me and rescue me./
