Psalms 61

1 For the leader. On stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God, be attentive to my prayer.

Sliši moj klic, oh Bog, prisluhni moji molitvi.

2 From the ends of the earth I call unto you, when my heart is faint: 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 you are a refuge to me, a strong tower in face of the foe.

Kajti zame si bil zatočišče in močna trdnjava pred sovražnikom.

4 O to be guest in your tent forever, hiding beneath your sheltering wings! (Selah)

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

5 For you, O God, do hear my vows, and grant the desires of those who fear you.

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

6 Add many days to the life of the king; may his years endure throughout all generations.

Kralju boš podaljšal življenje in njegova leta kakor mnoge rodove.

7 In the presence of God be he throned forever; may kindness and faithfulness watch over him.

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

8 And I will sing praise to your name forever, paying my vows day after day.

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