Psalms 61

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

Načelniku godbe na strune, pesem Davidova. Sliši Bog, vpitje moje, ozri se v molitev mojo.

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 skrajnosti dežele te kličem, ko se pogreza srce moje; na skalo, ki bodi višja od mene, pelji me.

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

Ker bil si mi pribežališče, stolp krepak zoper sovražnika.

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

Bival bodem v šatoru tvojem na veke; pribežal bodem pod peróti tvojih zatišje.

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

Ker ti, Bog, si poslušal obljube moje, dal si dedovino spoštujočim ime tvoje.

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

Dni dodaj dnevom kraljevim; leta njegova naj bodejo kakor mnogih rodov.

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

Ostane naj vekomaj pred Bogom; milost in zvestobo pripravi, da naj ga varujeti.

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

Tako bodem prepeval tvojemu imenu večno, opravljajoč vsak dan obljube svoje.
