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 choirmaster - on a stringed instrument of David. Hear! O God cry of entreaty my pay attention to! prayer my.

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

From [the] end of the earth - to you I call when grows faint heart my on a rock [which] it is high more than me you will lead me.

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

For you have been a refuge of me a tower of strength from before [the] enemy.

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

Let me sojourn in tent your forever let me take refuge in [the] shelter of wings your (Selah)

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

For you O God you have listened to vows my you have given [the] possession of [those] fearing name your.

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

Days to [the] days of [the] king you will add years his [be] like a generation and a generation.

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

May he sit forever before God covenant loyalty and faithfulness appoint they will preserve him.

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

Thus I will sing praises to name your for ever to pay I vows my day - day.
