70 - Deus, in adjutorium

1  Hasten, O God, to deliver me; *
make haste to help me, O Lord.

2  Let them be ashamed and confounded who seek after my life; *
let them be turned back and put to confusion who wish me evil.

3  Let them be soon brought to shame *
who cry over me, “Aha! Aha!”

4  But let all those who seek you be joyful and glad in you; *
and let all who delight in your salvation say always, “The Lord be praised.”

5  As for me, I am poor and in misery; *
hasten to me, O God.

6  You are my helper and my deliverer; *
O Lord, do not tarry.
