Psalmi 61

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

“For the leader of the music. To be sung upon stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear my cry, O God! Attend 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 extremity of the land I cry unto thee in deep sorrow of heart; Lead me to the rock that is high above me!

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

For thou art my refuge, My strong tower against the enemy.

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

I shall dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will seek refuge under the covert of thy wings.

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

For thou, O God! wilt hear my vows, And give me the inheritance of those who fear thy name.

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

O prolong the life of the king! May his years extend through many generations!

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

May he reign for ever before God! Grant that mercy and truth may preserve him!

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

So will I sing praise to thy name for ever; I will daily perform my vows.
