Psalm 69

O GOD, be pleased to rescue me, O Lord, make haste to help me.

Let those who are seeking my life be confounded and put to shame.

Turned back and covered with shame be they, that delight in my misfortunes. Turned back and covered with shame be they, that say to me ’T is well, ’t is well!

Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee;

And may they that long for thy help say always: God be magnified.

But I am afflicted and poor, O God, help me.

Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, do not delay.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
