Psalms 70

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. For a memorial. God, save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!

Psalmus David, in finem, In rememorationem, quod salvum fecit eum Dominus. Deus in adiutorium meum intende: Domine ad adiuvandum me festina.

2 Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.

Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quaerunt animam meam:

3 May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.

Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala: Avertantur statim erubescentes, qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge.

4 But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “God is great!”

Exultent et laetentur in te omnes qui quaerunt te, et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus: qui diligunt salutare tuum.

5 As for me, I am poor and needy. Hurry, God, help me! Save me! Lord, don't wait!

Ego vero egenus, et pauper sum: Deus adiuva me. Adiutor meus, et liberator meus es tu: Domine ne moreris.
