14 Shame and confusion be to all That seek my [guiltless] blood to spill; Let them be driven back, and shamed, Who wish [in heart] my wrongful ill.
14 Shame and confusion be to all That seek my [guiltless] blood to spill; Let them be driven back, and sham'd, Who wish [in heart] my wrongful ill.
15 For a reward of this their shame, [Then] desolate let them [all] be, Who in my hurt do cry Aha, [With scorn] and triumph over me.
16 Let all that truly seek thy face, Joy and be [ever] glad in thee; Let such a love thy grace still say, [Our] God [shall] magnified be.
17 I weak, and poor, and needy am, But [yet am] not of God forgot: Thou art my help and saviour, My God, O [too long] tarry not.
