Psalms 69 – The Waters Are Come In Unto My Soul
A cry from deep waters, later echoed at the cross.
This chapter of the Psalms overview pictures the psalmist sinking in deep waters and mire, worn out from crying and hated without cause, following the triumphant march of Psalms 68 with raw personal distress.
The titil of the nyne and sixtithe salm. To the victorie `of Dauid, `to haue mynde.
God, biholde thou in to myn heelp; Lord, hast thou to helpe me.
Be thei schent, and aschamed; that seken my lijf. Be thei turned a bak; and schame thei, that wolen yuels to me.
Be thei turned awei anoon, and schame thei; that seien to me, Wel! wel!
Alle men that seken thee, make fulli ioie, and be glad in thee; and thei that louen thin heelthe, seie euere, The Lord be magnyfied.
Forsothe Y am a nedi man, and pore; God, helpe thou me. Thou art myn helper and my delyuerere; Lord, tarye thou not.
