Psalms 61

1 To the Chief Musician. Upon a Stringed Instrument. David’s. Hear, O God, my loud cry, Attend unto my prayer:

Sliši moj klic, oh Bog, prisluhni moji molitvi.

2 From the end of the earth, unto thee do I cry, When my heart fainteth away, Unto a rock that is higher than I, wilt thou lead 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 hast been, A Refuge to me, A Tower of Strength, from the face of the foe.

Kajti zame si bil zatočišče in močna trdnjava pred sovražnikom.

4 I would be a guest in thy tent to the ages, I would seek refuge in the concealment of thy wings. (Selah)

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

5 For, thou, O God, hast hearkened to my vows, Thou hast granted a possession, unto them who revere thy Name.

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

6 Days—unto the days of the king, wilt thou add. His years, as of generation after generation:

Kralju boš podaljšal življenje in njegova leta kakor mnoge rodove.

7 Let him retain his seat age-abidingly before God, Appoint that, lovingkindness and faithfulness, my watch over him!

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

8 So, will I sing thy Name unto futurity, Paying my vows, day by day.

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