| 1 | Laulunjohtajalle. Daavidin psalmi. Lauletaan muistutusuhria uhrattaessa. (H70:2)Jumala, pelasta minut, Herra, riennä avukseni! | <To the chief music-maker. Of David. To keep in memory.> Let your salvation come quickly, O God; come quickly to my help, O Lord. |
| 2 | (H70:3)Pilkka ja häpeä niille, jotka väijyvät henkeäni! Perääntykööt lyötyinä kaikki, jotka tahtovat minulle pahaa. | Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish. |
| 3 | (H70:6)Minä olen köyhä ja avuton, Jumala, riennä avukseni. Sinä olet minun apuni ja pelastajani, Herra, älä viivy! | Let those who say Aha, aha! be turned back as a reward of their shame. |
| 4 | Let all those who are looking for you be glad and have joy in you; let the lovers of your salvation ever say, May God be great. | |
| 5 | But I am poor and in need; come to me quickly, O God; you are my help and my saviour; let there be no waiting, O Lord. |
