Psalms 61

1 For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

Sliši moj klic, oh Bog, prisluhni moji molitvi.

2 From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

Kajti zame si bil zatočišče in močna trdnjava pred sovražnikom.

4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

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

5 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

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

6 You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.

Kralju boš podaljšal življenje in njegova leta kakor mnoge rodove.

7 He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfil my vows daily.

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