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

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

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

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

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

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

Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:

Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quærunt animam meam.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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