In finem. Psalmus David in rememorationem, quod salvum fecerit eum Dominus.
1
(To the choir-master. Of David. A commemoration. )
2
O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.
2
Deus, in adjutorium meum intende; Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina.
2
Deign, O God, to set me free; Lord, make haste to help me.
3
Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:
3
Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam.
3
Disappoint them, put them to the blush, the enemies who plot against my life!
4
Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me: Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: ’T is well, ’t is well.
4
Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala; avertantur statim erubescentes qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge!
4
Baffled let them go their way, that rejoice at my ill fortune; slink away in confusion, that crowed over me so loud!
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.
5
Exsultent et lætentur in te omnes qui quærunt te; et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus, qui diligunt salutare tuum.
5
Triumphant joy be theirs, who long for thee; Praise to the Lord, be ever their song, who look eagerly now for thy succour.
6
But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
6
Ego vero egenus et pauper sum; Deus, adjuva me. Adjutor meus et liberator meus es tu; Domine, ne moreris.
6
Thou seest me helpless and destitute; my God, help me. Thou art my champion and my deliverer; Lord, do not delay thy coming.
