Salmos 61

1 Oh ʼElohim, oye mi clamor. Atiende mi súplica.

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

2 Cuando mi corazón desmaya, Clamo a Ti desde el extremo de la tierra: Llévame 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 fuiste mi Refugio, Torre fuerte contra el 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 Permite que yo viva en tu Tabernáculo para siempre Y que me refugie al amparo 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, ʼElohim, oíste mis votos. Diste heredad a 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 como muchas 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 Estará para siempre delante de ʼElohim. Prepara misericordia y 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 alabanza a tu Nombre para siempre, A fin de pagar mis votos cada día.

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.
