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 choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

2 Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam:

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

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

May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

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

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

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; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
