The Prayer out of the seventieth Psalm.

O Lord, we therefore daily implore thy mercy, because we are daily be∣set with danger; Enemies we have, without, within us, from whose malice and cruelty we can find no safety, [Ver. 5] except in thy favour and mercy: Thou alone art our Help and Deliverer, make then no long tarry∣ing, O my God; rather make haste to deliver us, [Ver. 1] make haste to help us.

Many there are that seek after my soul, let them be ashamed and confounded; [Ver. 2] many there are that desire my hurt, let them be turned backward, and put to confusion; suddenly let them be turned back, and put to flight, [Ver. 3] that rejoyce at my harm and downfall.

On the contrary, let all those who seek thee, who are zealous of glory, and call upon thy Name, rejoyce and be glad in thee; [Ver. 4] and when they shall see thy salvation, that thy great deliverance of me from an imminent and unex∣pected danger, be in love with thy salvation, and say alway, The merciful and just God be continually praised, who hath sent his Angel, and so miraculously delivered his servants; delay not therefore, O Lord, but send us help through Iesus Christ our Lord.
