PSALM 70, by                    
First Line: Lord, hye thee me to save
Last Line: Lord make no long delay


Lord, hye Thee me to save
To help me haste
Shame let them have
And of confusion taste
That have my soul in chase
Let them be turned back
And no disgraces lack
That joy in my disgrace

Back turned let them be
And for reward
Their own fall see
Who laugh out hard
Ah ha when most I mone
But mirth and joy renew
On them thy trace ensue
And love Thy help alone

Make them for ever sing
To God be Prayse
And to me bring
My downcast state to raise
Thy speedy aid and stay
From Thee my comfort growes
From Thee my Freedom flowes
Lord make no long delay
