OET interlinear PSA 70:5

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

וַ⁠אֲנִ֤י ׀ עָנִ֣י וְ⁠אֶבְיוֹן֮

(Some words not found in UHB: rejoice and,may_they_rejoice in,you all/each/any/every [those_of,who]_seek_you and,may_they_say continually great ʼElohīm love_of salvation_of,(of)_your )

David uses the word But here to indicate a contrast between the praise of God’s people described in the previous verse and his own current desperate situation. In your translation, indicate this contrast in a way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [Yet I am poor and needy]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

עָנִ֣י וְ⁠אֶבְיוֹן֮

(Some words not found in UHB: rejoice and,may_they_rejoice in,you all/each/any/every [those_of,who]_seek_you and,may_they_say continually great ʼElohīm love_of salvation_of,(of)_your )

The terms poor and needy mean similar things. David is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [am very needy]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

אֱלֹהִ֪ים חֽוּשָׁ֫⁠ה־לִּ֥⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: rejoice and,may_they_rejoice in,you all/each/any/every [those_of,who]_seek_you and,may_they_say continually great ʼElohīm love_of salvation_of,(of)_your )

David is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [God, please hurry to help me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

עֶזְרִ֣⁠י וּ⁠מְפַלְטִ֣⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: rejoice and,may_they_rejoice in,you all/each/any/every [those_of,who]_seek_you and,may_they_say continually great ʼElohīm love_of salvation_of,(of)_your )

The terms help and deliverer mean similar things. David is using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [my sure deliverer]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

עֶזְרִ֣⁠י

(Some words not found in UHB: rejoice and,may_they_rejoice in,you all/each/any/every [those_of,who]_seek_you and,may_they_say continually great ʼElohīm love_of salvation_of,(of)_your )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of help, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [my helper]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative

יְ֝הוָ֗ה אַל־תְּאַחַֽר

(Some words not found in UHB: rejoice and,may_they_rejoice in,you all/each/any/every [those_of,who]_seek_you and,may_they_say continually great ʼElohīm love_of salvation_of,(of)_your )

This is an imperative, but it communicates a polite request rather than a command. If the imperative does not communicate a polite request for your readers, then use a form in your language that communicates a polite request. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [Yahweh, please do not delay!]
