Psalmorum 70

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

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

2 Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam:

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

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

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

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

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

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

But I am poor and needy. Come to me quickly, God. You are my help and my deliverer. Yahweh, don’t delay.
