Masalimo 61

1 Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Loyimbidwa ndi zipangizo za zingwe. Imvani kulira kwanga, Inu Mulungu; mvetserani pemphero langa.

TO THE OVERSEER. ON STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. BY DAVID. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.

2 Kuchokera ku malekezero a dziko lapansi ine ndimayitana Inu ndimayitana pomwe mtima wanga ukufowoka; tsogolereni ku thanthwe lalitali kuposa ineyo.

I call to You from the end of the land, In the feebleness of my heart, You lead me into a rock higher than I.

3 Pakuti Inu mwakhala pothawirapo panga, nsanja yolimba polimbana ndi adani anga.

For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

4 Ine ndikulakalaka kukhala mʼtenti yanu kwamuyaya ndi kupeza chitetezo mu mthunzi wa mapiko anu.

I sojourn in Your tent for all ages, I trust in the secret place of Your wings. (Selah)

5 Pakuti Inu Mulungu mwamva malumbiro anga; mwandipatsa cholowa cha iwo amene amaopa dzina lanu.

For You, O God, have listened to my vows, You have appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Your Name.

6 Wonjezerani masiku a moyo wa mfumu, zaka zake kwa mibado yochuluka.

You add days to the days of the king, His years as generation and generation.

7 Iye akhale pa mpando waufumu pamaso pa Mulungu kwamuyaya; ikani chikondi chanu ndi kukhulupirika kwanu kuti zimuteteze.

He dwells before God for all time, Appoint kindness and truth—they keep him.

8 Kotero ndidzayimba matamando kwamuyaya pa dzina lanu ndi kukwaniritsa malumbiro anga tsiku ndi tsiku.

So I praise Your Name forever, When I pay my vows day by day!
