People tagged in the matching LV passage: God
OET (OET-RV) They look, but there’s no one to rescue them.
⇔ They call out to you, Yahweh, but you don’t answer them.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
אֶל־יְהוָ֖ה
to/towards YHWH
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: [they call to Yahweh]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
וְלֹ֥א עָנָֽם
and=not he,answered_them
By he does not answer them, David means that Yahweh does not help his enemies as they have asked. (The meaning of answer in this context is similar to the meaning of “listen” in 12:18.) You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [but he does not do what they ask]
OET (OET-RV) They look, but there’s no one to rescue them.
⇔ They call out to you, Yahweh, but you don’t answer them.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
