Psalmorum 70

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

For the chief musician. A psalm of David; to bring to remembrance. Save me, God! Yahweh, come quickly and help me.

2 Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quaerunt animam meam:

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.

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

Let them be turned back because of their shame, those who say, “Aha, aha.”

4 Exultent et laetentur in te omnes qui quaerunt 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 always say, “May God be praised.”

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