Psalmorum 70

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

God, please save me! Yahweh, come quickly to help me!

2 Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam:

Humble those who are happy about my troubles/difficulties, and cause them to be disgraced/ashamed. Chase away those who are trying to kill me.

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

I hope/desire that you will cause them to become dismayed and ashamed [because you have defeated them].

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

[But] I hope/desire that all those who go to [worship] you will be very joyful [DOU]. I want those who love you because you saved them to shout repeatedly [HYP], “God is great!”

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

As for me, I am poor and needy [DOU]; [so] God, come quickly to help me! Yahweh, you are the one who saves and helps me, [so please] come quickly!
