Psalms 70

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

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

2 Let them be disappointed and confounded who seek my soul. Let those who desire my ruin be turned back in disgrace.

Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam.

3 Let them be turned because of their shame who say, “Aha! Aha!”

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

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

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

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

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