Grido di angoscia

70 Al maestro del coro. Di Davide. In memoria.

Vieni a salvarmi, o Dio,
vieni presto, Signore, in mio aiuto.
Siano confusi e arrossiscano
quanti attentano alla mia vita.
Retrocedano e siano svergognati
quanti vogliono la mia rovina.
Per la vergogna si volgano indietro
quelli che mi deridono.
Gioia e allegrezza grande
per quelli che ti cercano;
dicano sempre: «Dio è grande»
quelli che amano la tua salvezza.
Ma io sono povero e infelice,
vieni presto, mio Dio;
tu sei mio aiuto e mio salvatore;
Signore, non tardare.

Prayer for Help against Persecutors.

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance.

70 O God, come quickly to save me;
O Lord, come quickly to help me!

Let those be ashamed and humiliated
Who seek my life;
Let them be turned back and humiliated
Who delight in my hurt.

Let them be turned back because of their shame and disgrace
Who say, “Aha, aha!”


May all those who seek You [as life’s first priority] rejoice and be glad in You;
May those who love Your salvation say continually,
“Let God be magnified!”

But I am afflicted and needy;
Come quickly to me, O God!
You are my help and my rescuer;
O Lord, do not delay.

Psalm 70[a](A)

For the director of music. Of David. A petition.

Hasten, O God, to save me;
    come quickly, Lord, to help me.(B)

May those who want to take my life(C)
    be put to shame and confusion;
may all who desire my ruin
    be turned back in disgrace.(D)
May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”(E)
    turn back because of their shame.
But may all who seek you(F)
    rejoice and be glad(G) in you;
may those who long for your saving help always say,
    “The Lord is great!”(H)

But as for me, I am poor and needy;(I)
    come quickly to me,(J) O God.
You are my help(K) and my deliverer;(L)
    Lord, do not delay.(M)
