Psalmi 61

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

To the Overseer, on stringed instruments. — By David. Hear, O God, my loud cry, 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 end of the land unto Thee I call, In the feebleness of my heart, Into a rock higher than I Thou dost lead me.

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

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

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

I sojourn in Thy tent to the ages, I trust in the secret place of Thy wings. (Selah)

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

For Thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Thy name.

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

Days to the days of the king Thou addest, His years as generation and generation.

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

He dwelleth to the age before God, Kindness and truth appoint — they keep him.

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

So do I praise Thy name for ever, When I pay my vows day by day!
