Psalmorum 70

1 In finem. Psalmus David in rememorationem, quod salvum fecerit eum Dominus. [Deus, in adjutorium meum intende; Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina.

[For the Chief Musician. By David. A reminder.] Hurry, God, to deliver me. Come quickly to help me, LORD.

2 Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam.

Let them be put to shame and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

3 Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala; avertantur statim erubescentes qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge!

Let them be turned back because of their shame who say to me, "Aha. Aha."

4 Exsultent et lætentur in te omnes qui quærunt te; et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus, qui diligunt salutare tuum.

Let all those who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation continually say, "Let God be exalted."

5 Ego vero egenus et pauper sum; Deus, adjuva me. Adjutor meus et liberator meus es tu; Domine, ne moreris.]

But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. LORD, do not delay.
