PSALM 69

PSALM 69

In finem. Psalmus David in rememorationem, quod salvum fecerit eum Dominus.

[1] Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him. 

Deus, in adjutórium meum inténde: ã Dómine, ad adjuvándum me festína.

[2] O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me. 

Confundántur, et revereántur,ã qui quaerunt ánimam meam:

[3] Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul: 

Avertántur retrórsum, et erubéscant, ã qui volunt mihi mala.

[4] Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me.

Avertántur statim erubescéntes, ã qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge.

Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: Tis well, tis well. 

Exsúltent et laeténtur in te omnes qui quaerunt te, ã et dicant semper: Magnificétur Dóminus: qui díligunt salutáre tuum.

5] Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified. 

Ego vero egénus, et pauper sum: ã Deus, ádjuva me.

But I am needy and poor; O God, help me.

Adjútor meus, et liberátor meus es tu; ã Domine, ne moreris.

Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
