THE PARAPHRASIS.
1 COme speedilie, ô God, to deliuer me: make haste to helpe me, ô Lord.
2 Put them to shame that seeke my death, command them to turne backe, and to be couered with shame, which desire nothing more, than to see me destroied.
3 Let them turne home with shame for a recom∣pence, being disappointed of their purpose, which haue vaunted against me, as though I had bene vt∣terlie vndone.
4 And graunt thou of the contrarie, that not I a∣lone, but al they also, that haue a desire to worship thee, and wait for an end of my miseries, may be ioiful and reioice, and that they may giue solemne and euerlasting thanks and praises vnto thee, who hast deliuered me.
5 In the meane season, I stand here, poore miser, destitute of al succour: make haste therfore, ô God, to helpe me. For I depend vpon thy helpe alone, ô God, my deliuerer: ô Lord, I beseech thee, delaie no longer.
