Psalms 61

1 For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. God, please hear my cry for help; please listen to my prayer.

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

2 From this distant place, far from home, I cry out to you as my courage fails. Take me to a rock high above me where I will be safe,

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

3 for you are my protection, a strong tower where my enemies cannot attack me.

jer ti si moje sklonište, utvrda čvrsta protiv dušmana.

4 Let me live with you forever; protect me under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

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

5 For you, God, have heard the promises I've made. You have given all those who love your character your special blessing.

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

6 Please give the king many extra years; may his reign last through generations.

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

7 May he always live in your presence; may your trustworthy love and faithfulness protect him.

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

8 Then I will always sing praises to you, and every day I will keep my promises to you.

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