Psalms 61

1 For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

Načelniku godbe na strune, pesem Davidova. Sliši Bog, vpitje moje, ozri se v molitev mojo.

2 From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Od skrajnosti dežele te kličem, ko se pogreza srce moje; na skalo, ki bodi višja od mene, pelji me.

3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

Ker bil si mi pribežališče, stolp krepak zoper sovražnika.

4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

Bival bodem v šatoru tvojem na veke; pribežal bodem pod peróti tvojih zatišje.

5 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

Ker ti, Bog, si poslušal obljube moje, dal si dedovino spoštujočim ime tvoje.

6 You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.

Dni dodaj dnevom kraljevim; leta njegova naj bodejo kakor mnogih rodov.

7 He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

Ostane naj vekomaj pred Bogom; milost in zvestobo pripravi, da naj ga varujeti.

8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.

Tako bodem prepeval tvojemu imenu večno, opravljajoč vsak dan obljube svoje.
