Deus in adjutorium. A prayer in persecution.
1 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.
2 O God, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.
Deus, in adjutorium meum intende; Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina.
3 Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:
Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quaerunt animam meam.
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: Tis well, tis well.
Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala; avertantur statim erubescentes qui dicunt mihi : Euge, euge!
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.
Exsultent et laetentur in te omnes qui quaerunt te; et dicant semper : Magnificetur Dominus, qui diligunt salutare tuum.
6 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.
