Psalmorum 70

1 In finem, Psalmus David, In rememorationem, quod salvum fecerit eum Dominus. Deus in adiutorium meum intende: Domine ad adiuvandum 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 Exultent 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 adiuva me. Adiutor 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.
