Salmos 61

1 Oye, o! Dios, mi clamor; está atento a mi oración.

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

2 Desde el cabo de la tierra clamaré a ti, cuando desmayare mi corazón; a la peña más alta que yo, llévame.

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 mi refugio; torre de fortaleza delante 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 tabernáculo para siempre; estaré seguro en el escondedero de tus alas.

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, o! Dios, has oído mis votos; has dado 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 Días sobre días añadirás al rey: sus años serán como generación y generación.

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

7 El estará para siempre delante de Dios; misericordia y verdad apercibe que le conserven.

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 tu nombre para siempre, pagando 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.
