Psalm 61 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

En bøn om hjælp og et løfte

1 Til korlederen: Brug strengeinstrumenterne. En sang af David.

2 Hør mit råb, Gud, lyt til min bøn.

3 Det føles, som om alt håb er ude, og jeg råber til dig i min nød. Sæt mine fødder på en klippefast grund.

4 Du er min klippeborg og min fæstning, du beskytter mig mod fjendens angreb.

5 Lad mig altid bo i din helligdom, være tryg i ly af dine vinger.

6 Du har hørt mit højtidelige løfte, Gud, du velsigner dem, der ærer dit navn.

7 Giv mig et langt og godt liv,* lad mig opleve flere generationer.

8 Lad min slægt herske evigt for dit ansigt, lad din trofaste kærlighed omslutte mig.

9 Så vil jeg altid prise dit navn, og opfylde alle mine løfter til dig.

English Standard Version

Lead Me to the Rock

1 To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God, listen to my prayer;

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

3 for you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the enemy.

4 Let me dwell in your tent forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings!

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

6 Prolong the life of the king; may his years endure to all generations!

7 May he be enthroned forever before God; appoint steadfast love and faithfulness to watch over him!

8 So will I ever sing praises to your name, as I perform my vows day after day.
