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 leader. Of David. For commemoration. Quickly, God, deliver me, hasten to help me, Lord.

2 Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam.

May those who are seeking my life, be ashamed and confounded.

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

May those who delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonour.

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

But may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all who love your salvation say, ‘Glory to God,’ evermore.

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

I am weak and needy: make haste, God, to me. You are my help and deliverer; Lord, don’t delay.
