Psalms 70

1 “To the chief musician, by David, to bring to remembrance.” O God, [arise] to deliver me; O Lord, make haste to help me.

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

2 Let those that seek after my life be made ashamed and put to the blush: let those that desire my unhappiness be turned backward and put to confusion.

Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam.

3 Let them be turned backward in consequence of their shame, that say, Aha, aha.

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

4 Let all those that seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, God is 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 needy, O God: come hastily unto me; my help and my deliverer art thou: O Lord, do not delay.

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