Psalmi 70

1 Dāvida dziesma, dziedātāju vadonim, par piemiņu. Steidzies, ak Dievs, mani izglābt, ak Kungs, man palīdzēt.

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

2 Lai top kaunā un kļūst apkaunoti, kas manu dvēseli meklē, lai top atpakaļ dzīti un paliek kaunā, kas priecājās par manu nelaimi.

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 Lai tie griežas atpakaļ sava kauna dēļ, kas saka: Tā, tā!

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

4 Iekš Tevis lai priecājās un līksmojās visi, kas Tevi meklē; lai tie, kas Tavu pestīšanu mīļo, vienmēr saka: augsti slavēts ir Dievs.

[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 Bet es esmu bēdīgs un nabags; - ak Dievs, steidzies pie manis. Tu esi mans palīgs un mans glābējs, ak Kungs, nekavējies!

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!
