Psalms 70

1 For the chief musician. A psalm of David; to bring to remembrance. Save me, God! Yahweh, come quickly and 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 who try to take my life be ashamed and humiliated; let them be turned back and brought to dishonor, those who take pleasure in my pain.

Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam.

3 Let them be turned back because of their shame, those 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 always say, “May God be praised.”

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; hurry to me, God; you are my help and you rescue me. Yahweh, do not delay.

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