Psalmi 61

1 Èuj, Bože, viku moju, slušaj molitvu moju.

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

2 Od kraja zemlje vièem k tebi, kad klonu srce moje. Izvedi me na goru, gdje se ne mogu popeti.

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.

3 Jer si ti utoèište moje, tvrdi zaklon od neprijatelja.

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

4 Da živim u stanu tvom dovijeka, i poèinem pod krovom krila tvojih.

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.

5 Jer ti, Bože, èuješ zavjete moje i daješ mi dostojanje onijeh koji poštuju ime tvoje.

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].

6 Dodaj dane k danima carevijem, i godine njegove produlji od koljena na koljeno.

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

7 Neka caruje dovijeka pred Bogom; zapovjedi milosti i istini neka ga èuvaju.

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

8 Tako æu pjevati imenu tvojemu svagda, izvršujuæi zavjete svoje svaki dan.

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.
