Psalms 61

1 “For the leader of the music. To be sung upon stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear my cry, O God! Attend to my prayer!

Sliši moj klic, oh Bog, prisluhni moji molitvi.

2 From the extremity of the land I cry unto thee in deep sorrow of heart; Lead me to the rock that is high above me!

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

3 For thou art my refuge, My strong tower against the enemy.

Kajti zame si bil zatočišče in močna trdnjava pred sovražnikom.

4 I shall dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will seek refuge under the covert of thy wings.

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

5 For thou, O God! wilt hear my vows, And give me the inheritance of those who fear thy name.

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

6 O prolong the life of the king! May his years extend through many generations!

Kralju boš podaljšal življenje in njegova leta kakor mnoge rodove.

7 May he reign for ever before God! Grant that mercy and truth may preserve him!

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

8 So will I sing praise to thy name for ever; I will daily perform my vows.

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