Psalms 61

1 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.

Sliši moj klic, oh Bog, prisluhni moji molitvi.

2 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.

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 secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

Kajti zame si bil zatočišče in močna trdnjava pred sovražnikom.

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

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

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

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

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

Kralju boš podaljšal življenje in njegova leta kakor mnoge rodove.

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

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

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

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