Salmos 61

1 Para el músico jefe. Para un instrumento de cuerda. Por David. Escucha mi clamor, Dios. Escucha mi oración.

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

2 Desde el fin de la tierra, te llamaré cuando mi corazón esté abrumado. Condúceme a la roca que es más alta que yo.

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 Porque tú has sido un refugio para mí, una torre fuerte del enemigo.

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 Yo habitaré en tu tienda para siempre. Me refugiaré al abrigo de tus alas. (Selah)

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 Porque tú, Dios, has escuchado mis votos. Me has dado la herencia de los que temen tu nombre.

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 Prolongarás la vida del rey. Sus años serán para generaciones.

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

7 Será entronizado en la presencia de Dios para siempre. Designa tu amorosa bondad y la verdad, para que lo preserven.

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 Así cantaré alabanzas a tu nombre para siempre, para que pueda cumplir mis votos diariamente.

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.
