Norwegian 2018 (Bibelen - Guds Ord Hverdagsbibelen (Hermon Forlag))
Befri meg, min Gud, fra dem som er urettferdige og grusomme. For Du er mitt håp, Gud. Du har vært min trygghet helt fra jeg var ung. Helt siden jeg ble født, har Du tatt deg av meg. Du tok imot meg den dagen jeg ble født. Jeg vil alltid lovprise Deg med min sang.

Explained for Children
Imagine you're playing in the park and there are some bullies around who want to hurt you. You ask your mom or dad to come and protect you from those bullies. This verse is like that, but instead of asking a parent, the person is asking God to keep them safe from mean people.
Historical Background
Psalm 71 was written by King David, a prominent figure in ancient Israel, likely during his reign as king. It reflects a time when he faced threats from enemies both within and outside his kingdom, and sought God's protection in times of peril.
Living It Out Today
Imagine you are facing a difficult situation at work where a colleague is not only uncooperative but also verbally abusive. You might feel powerless, but this verse reminds us to turn to God for deliverance and protection from such unrighteousness.
