Text and translations
Clementine Vulgate (Psalm 69)Latin text 1 In finem. Psalmus David in rememorationem, quod salvum fecerit eum Dominus. 2 Deus, in adjutorium meum intende; Domine, ad adjuvandum me festina. 3 Confundantur, et revereantur, qui quaerunt animam meam. 4 Avertantur retrorsum, et erubescant, qui volunt mihi mala; avertantur statim erubescentes qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge! 5 Exsultent et laetentur in te omnes qui quaerunt te; 6 Ego vero egenus et pauper sum; Deus, adjuva me. Adjutor meus et liberator meus es tu; Domine, ne moreris. |
Church of England 1662 Book of Common PrayerEnglish text Unto the end, a psalm for David, to bring to remembrance that the Lord saved him. 1 Haste thee, O God, to deliver me: make haste to help me, O Lord. 2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward and put to confusion that wish me evil. 3 Let them for their reward be soon brought to shame: that cry over me, There, there. 4 But let all those that seek thee be joyful and glad in thee: 5 As for me, I am poor and in misery: haste thee unto me, O God. 6 Thou art my helper and my redeemer: O Lord, make no long tarrying. |
Lutherbibel 1912German text 1 Ein Psalm Davids, vorzusingen zum Gedächtnis. Eile, Gott, mich zu erretten, Herr, mir zu helfen! 2 Es müssen sich schämen und zuschanden werden, die nach meiner Seele stehen; sie müssen zurückkehren und gehöhnet werden, die mir übels wünschen, 3 daß sie müssen wiederum zu Schanden werden, die da über mich schreien: Da, da! 4 Freuen und fröhlich müssen sein an dir, die nach dir fragen; und die dein Heil lieben, immer sagen: Hochgelobt sei Gott! 5 Ich aber bin elend und arm. Gott, eile zu mir, denn du bist mein Helfer und Erretter; mein Gott, verzeuch nicht! |
