Psalms 61

1 For the end, amongst the Hymns of David. O God, listen to my petition; attend to my prayer.

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

2 From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me:

S kraja zemlje vapijem k tebi jer mi srce klonu. Dignut ćeš me na liticu i pokoj mi dati,

3 because you were my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

jer ti si moje sklonište, utvrda čvrsta protiv dušmana.

4 I will dwell in your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. (Pause)

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

5 For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name.

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

6 You shall add days to the days of the king; [you shall lengthen] his years to all generations.

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

7 He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

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

8 So will I sing to your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

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