Psalms 61

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

Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, sikia kilio changu, usikilize maombi yangu.

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.

Kutoka miisho ya dunia ninakuita, ninaita huku moyo wangu unadhoofika; uniongoze kwenye mwamba ule ulio juu kuliko mimi.

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

Kwa kuwa umekuwa kimbilio langu, ngome imara dhidi ya adui.

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

Natamani kukaa hemani mwako milele, na kukimbilia chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako.

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

Ee Mungu, kwa kuwa umesikia nadhiri zangu, umenipa urithi wa wale wanaoliogopa jina lako.

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

Mwongezee mfalme siku za maisha yake, miaka yake kwa vizazi vingi.

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

Yeye na atawazwe kwenye kiti cha enzi mbele za Mungu milele; amuru upendo wako na uaminifu wako vimlinde.

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

Ndipo daima nitaliimbia sifa jina lako na kuzitimiza nadhiri zangu siku baada ya siku.
