Psalms 61

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

Sliši moj klic, oh Bog, prisluhni moji molitvi.

2 From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Od konca zemlje bom klical k tebi, ko je moje srce preplavljeno. Vôdi me k skali, ki je višja kakor jaz.

3 For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

Kajti zame si bil zatočišče in močna trdnjava pred sovražnikom.

4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

V tvojem šotorskem svetišču bom ostal na veke. Zaupal bom v skrivališče tvojih peruti. (Sela)

5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

Kajti ti, oh Bog, si uslišal moje zaobljube; dal si mi dediščino tistih, ki se bojijo tvojega imena.

6 Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

Kralju boš podaljšal življenje in njegova leta kakor mnoge rodove.

7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

Pred Bogom bo on ostal na veke. O pripravi usmiljenje in resnico, ki ga lahko varuje.

8 Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.

Tako bom na veke prepeval hvalo tvojemu imenu, da bom lahko dnevno opravljal svoje zaobljube.
