Salme 70

1 Til Sangmesteren. Af David. Lehazkir.

God, please save me! Yahweh, come quickly to help me!

2 Du værdiges, Gud, at fri mig, Herre, il mig til Hjælp!

Humble those who are happy about my troubles/difficulties, and cause them to be disgraced/ashamed. Chase away those who are trying to kill me.

3 Lad dem beskæmmes og rødme, som vil mig til Livs, og de, der ønsker mig ondt, lad dem vige med Skændsel;

I hope/desire that you will cause them to become dismayed and ashamed [because you have defeated them].

4 lad dem stivne af Rædsel ved deres Skam, de, som siger: »Ha, ha!«

[But] I hope/desire that all those who go to [worship] you will be very joyful [DOU]. I want those who love you because you saved them to shout repeatedly [HYP], “God is great!”

5 Lad alle, som søger dig, frydes og glædes i dig; lad dem, som elsker din Frelse, bestandig sige: »Gud er stor!« Arm og fattig er jeg, il mig til Hjælp, o Gud! Du er min Hjælp og min Frelser; tøv ej, HERRE!

As for me, I am poor and needy [DOU]; [so] God, come quickly to help me! Yahweh, you are the one who saves and helps me, [so please] come quickly!
