Psalms 61

1 For the end, amongst the Hymns of David. O God, listen to my petition; attend to my prayer.

Sliši moj klic, oh Bog, prisluhni moji molitvi.

2 From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me:

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

3 because you were my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

Kajti zame si bil zatočišče in močna trdnjava pred sovražnikom.

4 I will dwell in your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. (Pause)

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

5 For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name.

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

6 You shall add days to the days of the king; [you shall lengthen] his years to all generations.

Kralju boš podaljšal življenje in njegova leta kakor mnoge rodove.

7 He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

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

8 So will I sing to your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

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