Psalms 61

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

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kutshaywa iziginci. ElikaDavida. Zwana ukukhala kwami, Oh Nkulunkulu; lalela umkhuleko wami.

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.

Ngisemkhawulweni womhlaba ngiyakubiza, ngiyabiza lapho inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla; ngikhokhelela edwaleni eliphakeme kulami.

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

Ngoba ube uyisiphephelo sami, inqaba eqinileyo evikela esitheni.

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

Ngiyalangazelela ukuhlala ethenteni lakho laphakade ngizifihle emthunzini wamaphiko akho.

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

Phela usuzizwile izifungo zami, Oh Nkulunkulu; usungiphile ilifa lalabo abalesabayo ibizo lakho.

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

Yandisa insuku zempilo yenkosi, iminyaka yayo okwezizukulwane ezinengi.

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

Sengathi ingaba sesihlalweni iphambi kukaNkulunkulu nini lanini; wabele uthando Lwakho lokuthembeka Kwakho kuyivikele.

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

Lapho-ke ngizahlala ngihlabelela indumiso ebizweni Lakho ngigcwalise izifungo zami insuku ngensuku.
