Psalmi 70

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David, for remembrance.” Make haste, O God! to deliver me, O LORD! come speedily to mine aid!

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

May they all be confounded, and covered with shame, Who seek to take my life! May they be driven back with disgrace Who desire to do me injury!

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

May they be turned back with shame Who cry out to me, “Aha! aha!”

4 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.«

But let all who seek thee be glad and rejoice in thee! Let them that love thy protection ever say, “May God be praised!”

5 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.

But I am poor and needy; O God! hasten to mine aid! Thou art my help and my deliverer, O LORD! make no delay!
