How would "Lord make me swift and accurate" translate into old Latin?

What do you mean by "old" Latin.

I was under the impression that there is an older version of Latin used in bible scriptures and in certain Latin quotes.

Strictly speaking "Old Latin" is the earliest version of the language (prior to 75
BC). Most of the Latin literature you find quoted is from "Classical Latin" (75
BC to about 200 AD). The bible was translated into Latin in the late Fourth
into the early Fifth Century. The Latin of this period is called "Late Latin".

Thank you for correcting me. I guess the version I am looking for is Classical Latin.

Fac me citus et accuratus.
I assume this refers to a male.
If female,
Fac me cita et accurata.

You're welcome.

Usually you won't get an answer so quickly, but I was just tidying things up
before heading home and I logged in to see what was going on at Able2Know
and there you were. Well, there your post was.
