Psalmi 61

1 Sliši moj klic, oh Bog, prisluhni moji molitvi.

For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

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

From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 Kajti zame si bil zatočišče in močna trdnjava pred sovražnikom.

For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

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

I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

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

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

6 Kralju boš podaljšal življenje in njegova leta kakor mnoge rodove.

Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: his years shall be as many generations.

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

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
