Psalms 71
1 Yahweh, I have come to you to (get refuge/be protected); never allow me to become ashamed [because of being defeated].
Herre! jeg forlader mig paa dig, lad mig ikke beskæmmes evindelig!
2 Because you always do what is right, help me and rescue me; listen to me, and save me!
Red mig ved din Retfærdighed og udfri mig; bøj dit Øre til mig og frels mig!
3 Be [like an overhanging] rock [MET] under which I [can be] safe/protected; [be like] a strong fortress in which I am safe [DOU]. You [continually] command (OR, [Continually] command) [your angels] to rescue me.
Vær mig en Klippe til Bolig, hvorhen jeg altid kan ty, du, som har befalet at frelse mig; thi du er min Klippe og min Befæstning.
4 God, rescue me from wicked [people], from the power of unjust and evil men.
Min Gud! udfri mig af en ugudeligs Haand, af dens Haand, som gør Uret, og som undertrykker.
5 Yahweh, my Lord, you are the one whom I confidently expect [to help me]; I have trusted in you since I was young.
Thi du er min Fortrøstning; Herre, Herre! du er min Tillid fra min Ungdom af.
6 I have depended on you all my life; you have taken care of me [IDM] since the day that I was born, [so] I will always praise you.
Paa dig har jeg forladt mig fast fra Moders Liv, du har draget mig af min Moders Skød; min Lovsang er altid om dig.
7 The manner in which I have conducted my life has been an example to many [people], because [they realize that] you have been my strong defender.
Jeg har været for mange som et Under; men du er min stærke Tillid.
8 I praise you all day long, and I proclaim that you are glorious/wonderful.
Lad min Mund fyldes med din Lovsang, den ganske Dag med din Pris.
9 Now, when I have become an old man, do not reject/abandon me; do not abandon me now, when I am not strong any more.
Forkast mig ikke i Alderdommens Tid; forlad mig ikke, naar min Kraft forgaar!
10 My enemies say [that they want to kill] me; they plan together [how they can do that].
Thi mine Fjender tale imod mig, og de, som tage Vare paa min Sjæl, raadføre sig med hverandre,
11 They say [about me], “God has abandoned him; so now we can pursue him and seize him, because there is no one who will rescue him.”
sigende: Gud har forladt ham, forfølger og griber ham; thi der er ingen, som frier.
12 God, do not stay far away from me; hurry to help me!
Gud! vær ikke langt fra mig; min Gud! skynd dig at hjælpe mig!
13 Cause those who (accuse me/say that I have done things that are wrong) to be defeated and destroyed; cause those who want to harm me to be shamed and disgraced.
Lad dem beskæmmes, fortæres, som staa imod min Sjæl, lad dem iføres Forhaanelse og Skændsel, som søge min Ulykke.
14 But [as for me], I will continually and confidently expect [you to do great things for me], and I will praise you more and more.
Men jeg vil altid haabe, og al din Pris vil jeg endnu mangfoldiggøre.
15 I will tell people that you do what is right; all day long I will tell people how you have saved me, although what you have done is more than I can fully understand.
Min Mund skal fortælle din Retfærdighed, din Frelse den ganske Dag; thi jeg ved ikke Tal derpaa.
16 Yahweh, my Lord, I will praise you for your mighty deeds; I will proclaim that only you always act justly.
Jeg vil komme frem med Herrens, Herrens vældige Gerninger; jeg vil minde om din Retfærdighed, din alene.
17 God, you have taught me [many/those things] ever since I was young, and I still tell people about your wonderful deeds.
Gud! du har lært mig fra min Ungdom af, og indtil nu kundgør jeg dine underfulde Gerninger.
18 And now, God, when I am old and my hair is gray, do not abandon me. [Stay with me] while I continue to proclaim to my children and grandchildren [HYP] that you are [very] powerful!
Ja, endog indtil Alderdommen og de graa Haar, o Gud! forlad mig ikke; indtil jeg kan kundgøre din Arm for Efterslægten, din Kraft for hver den, som komme skal.
19 God, you do many righteous deeds; [it is as though] they extend up to the sky. You have done great things; there is no one like you [RHQ].
Og din Retfærdighed strækker sig, o Gud! til det høje; du, som har gjort store Ting, Gud! hvo er som du?
20 You have caused me to have many troubles and to suffer much, [but] you will cause me to become strong again; when I am almost dead [HYP], you will keep me alive.
Du, som har ladet mig se mange Angester og Ulykker, du vil gøre mig levende igen og hente mig op igen fra Jordens Afgrunde.
21 You will cause me to be greatly honored and you will encourage/comfort me again.
Gør min Herlighed stor og trøst mig igen!
22 I will also praise you [while I play] my harp; I will praise you, my God, for faithfully [doing what you have promised to do]. I will play hymns to praise you, the holy God whom [we] Israelis [worship].
Og jeg vil takke dig med Strengeleg for din Sandhed, min Gud! jeg vil synge for dig til Harpe, du Hellige i Israel!
23 I [SYN] will shout joyfully while I play [the harp] for you; with my entire inner being I will sing because you have rescued me.
Mine Læber skulle juble, naar jeg synger for dig; ja, min Sjæl, som du har genløst.
24 All day long I will tell people that you act righteously, because those who wanted to harm me will have been defeated and disgraced.
Og min Tunge skal tale den ganske Dag om din Retfærdighed; thi de ere beskæmmede, thi de ere blevne til Skamme, som søge min Ulykke.
