Psalmi 70

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

To the Overseer, by David. — 'To cause to remember.' O God, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help, haste.

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

Let them be ashamed and confounded Who are seeking my soul, Let them be turned backward and blush Who are desiring my evil.

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

Let them turn back because of their shame, Who are saying, '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.«

Let all those seeking Thee joy and be glad in Thee, And let those loving Thy salvation Say continually, 'God is magnified.'

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.

And I [am] poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!
