Psalms 61

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

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

2 From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

3 For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

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

4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

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

5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

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

6 Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

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

7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

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

8 Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.

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