Psalms 70

1 To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory. Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord.

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

2 Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam.

3 Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame.

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

4 Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great.

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

5 But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord.

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