Psalms 70

1 Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Yhwh.

Podvizaj se, oh Bog, da me osvobodiš; podvizaj se, da mi pomagaš, oh Gospod.

2 Let them be ashamed and confounded that seek after my soul: let them be turned backward, and put to confusion, that desire my hurt.

Naj bodo osramočeni in zbegani [tisti], ki strežejo po moji duši. Naj bodo obrnjeni nazaj in postavljeni v zmedenost, ki želijo mojo bolečino.

3 Let them be turned back for a reward of their shame that say, Aha, aha.

Naj bodo za nagrado svojega sramotenja obrnjeni nazaj, ki pravijo: »Aha, aha.«

4 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy salvation say continually, Let God be magnified.

Naj se vsi tisti, ki te iščejo, veselijo in bodo veseli v tebi. Naj tisti, ki ljubijo tvojo rešitev duše, nenehno govorijo: »Naj bo Bog poveličan.«

5 But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O Yhwh, make no tarrying.

Toda jaz sem ubog in pomoči potreben. Podvizaj se k meni, oh Bog. Ti si moja pomoč in moj osvoboditelj; oh Gospod, ne mudi se.
