Psalms 61

1 God, listen to me, and answer my prayer [DOU]!

Al maestro de coro. Para instrumentos de cuerda. De David. Escucha, oh Dios, mi grito, atiende a mi oración.

2 While I am discouraged and far from my home, I am calling out to you. Lead me to [the place that is like] a high rock [MET] on top of which I will be safe.

Desde los confines de la tierra clamo a Ti, con el corazón desfallecido; Tú me alzarás hasta la roca, me darás el reposo.

3 You have been my refuge; you have been [like] a strong tower [MET] [in which I am safe] from being attacked by my enemies.

Porque eres mi refugio, la fuerte torre contra el enemigo.

4 Allow me to live close to your temple all during my life [HYP]! Allow me to be safe [MET], [like a little bird is safe] under [its mother’s] wings.

Habite yo para siempre en tu tabernáculo y encuentre abrigo a la sombra de tus alas.

5 God, you heard me when I solemnly promised [to give offerings to you]; you have given to me the blessings that belong to those who have an awesome respect for you [MTY].

Oíste mis votos, oh Dios, y me has dado la herencia de los que temen tu Nombre.

6 [I am] the king [of Israel]; [please] allow me to live [and rule] for many years, and allow my descendants to rule [also].

Añade días a los días del rey; sean iguales sus años a la multitud de generaciones.

7 Allow us to rule forever while you observe us; watch over us while you faithfully love us and do for us what you promised.

Reine eternamente delante de Dios; que tu misericordia y tu fidelidad lo conserven.

8 If you do that, I will always sing to praise you [MTY] while I offer to you each day the sacrifices that I promised to give to you.

Así cantaré tu Nombre para siempre, y cumpliré mis votos cada día.
