Psalmorum 70

1 In finem. Psalmus David in rememorationem, quod salvum fecerit eum Dominus. Deus, in adjutorium meum intende; Domine, ad adjuvandum 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 Exsultent 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, adjuva me. Adjutor 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.
