Psalms 61

1 Hear my cry, O God. Attend to my prayer.

Zwana, Nkulunkulu, ukukhala kwami, ulalele umkhuleko wami.

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

Ngisemkhawulweni womhlaba ngizakhala kuwe, inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla; ngikhokhelela edwaleni eliphakemeyo kulami.

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

Ngoba ubuyisiphephelo sami, inqaba eqinileyo kuso isitha.

4 I will dwell in thy tabernacle forever. I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

Ngizahlala ethenteni lakho kuze kube nininini, ngiphephele kungubudo yempiko zakho. (Sela)

5 For thou, O God, have heard my vows. Thou have given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.

Ngoba wena, Nkulunkulu, uzwile izifungo zami, wanginika ilifa labesaba ibizo lakho.

6 Thou will prolong the king's life. His years shall be as many generations.

Uzakwengeza izinsuku ezinsukwini zenkosi; iminyaka yayo izakuba njengesizukulwana lesizukulwana.

7 He shall abide before God forever. O prepare loving kindness and truth that they may preserve him.

Kayihlale phambi kukaNkulunkulu kuze kube nininini; umise umusa leqiniso, ukuze kuyilondoloze.

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

Ngalokho ngizahlabela indumiso ebizweni lakho kuze kube nininini, ukuze ngigcwalise izifungo zami insuku ngensuku.
