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

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

(To the choir-master. Of David. A commemoration. )

Deus, in adjutorium meum intende; Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina.

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

Deign, O God, to set me free; Lord, make haste to help me.

Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam.

Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:

Disappoint them, put them to the blush, the enemies who plot against my life!

Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala; avertantur statim erubescentes qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge!

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.

Baffled let them go their way, that rejoice at my ill fortune; slink away in confusion, that crowed over me so loud!

Exsultent et lætentur in te omnes qui quærunt te; et dicant semper: Magnificetur Dominus, qui diligunt salutare tuum.

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

Triumphant joy be theirs, who long for thee; Praise to the Lord, be ever their song, who look eagerly now for thy succour.

Ego vero egenus et pauper sum; Deus, adjuva me. Adjutor meus et liberator meus es tu; Domine, ne moreris.

But I am needy and poor; O God, help me. Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.

Thou seest me helpless and destitute; my God, help me. Thou art my champion and my deliverer; Lord, do not delay thy coming.
