Psalmi 61

1 Zborovođi. Uza žičana glazbala. Davidov. O Bože, vapaj mi poslušaj, budi pomnjiv na molitvu moju!

To the chief music-maker. On a corded instrument. Of David. Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.

2 S kraja zemlje vapijem k tebi jer mi srce klonu. Dignut ćeš me na liticu i pokoj mi dati,

From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.

3 jer ti si moje sklonište, utvrda čvrsta protiv dušmana.

For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

4 O, da mi je stanovati uvijek u tvom šatoru, da se sklanjat' mogu pod okrilje tvoje!

I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah)

5 Jer ti, Bože, usliši molbe moje, dade mi baštinu onih što ime ti štuju.

For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

6 Kraljevim danima pridometni danÄa, kroz koljena mnoga nek' mu ljeta traju,

You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.

7 nek' pred Bogom uvijek vlada; dobrotu i vjernost pošalji da ga čuvaju!

May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

8 Ovako ću pjevat svagda tvom imenu, dan za danom vršit' zavjete svoje.

So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.
