Is i will not fail you correct because doesn't that imply something from the future while this is just a present form? Isn't i do not fail you a better translation?

I am not sure but so far it seems to me that in Danish, present and future tenses use the same verb form. I may be wrong but maybe a native speaker will come along to correct me.

"I fail you not" is not everyday English. But it looks like a literal translation of the Danish phrase.

awefulwaffle, true, but it is sort of theatrical for emphasis, and i have heard it used like that in conversation. (someone talking like a superhero, say.)

Meatwad: You didn’t pay the water bill, did you?
Master Shake: Or the electricity. That’s why you gotta do it. You’re my main man.
Meatwad: I am?
Master Shake: Everybody knows. I say it to so many people.
Meatwad: I knew you’d come around to me.
Master Shake: Here, hop on the TV and await further instructions.
Meatwad: I will not fail you. Wolverines!

Apparently, it doesn't like 'I won't let you down' or I won't disappoint you'.
