Psalmorum 70

1 in finem David in rememoratione eo quod salvum me fecit Dominus Deus in adiutorium meum intende Domine ad adiuvandum me festina;

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, for remembrance.” Make haste, O God! to deliver me, O LORD! come speedily to mine aid!

2 confundantur et revereantur qui quaerunt animam meam

May they all be confounded, and covered with shame, Who seek to take my life! May they be driven back with disgrace Who desire to do me injury!

3 avertantur retrorsum et erubescant qui volunt mihi mala avertantur statim erubescentes qui dicunt mihi euge euge

May they be turned back with shame Who cry out to me, “Aha! aha!”

4 exultent et laetentur in te omnes qui quaerunt te et dicant semper magnificetur Deus qui diligunt salutare tuum

But let all who seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee! Let them that love thy protection ever say, “May God be praised!”

5 ego vero egenus et pauper Deus adiuva me adiutor meus et liberator meus es tu Domine ne moreris

But I am poor and needy; O God! hasten to mine aid! Thou art my help and my deliverer, O LORD! make no delay!
