Psalms 61

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

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki na lindanda. Nzembo ya Davidi. Oh Nzambe, yoka koganga na ngai, yoka na bokebi losambo na ngai.

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.

Wuta na suka ya mokili, nazali kobelela Yo, motema na ngai ebukani! Mema ngai na libanga oyo eleki likolo epai wapi nakokoka te kokoma ngai moko.

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

Pamba te, ozali ebombamelo na ngai, ndako molayi batonga makasi, liboso ya banguna na ngai.

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

Posa ya motema na ngai ezali: kovanda tango nyonso kati na Ndako na Yo mpe kozwa ebombamelo na se ya mapapu na Yo.

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

Pamba te Yo Nzambe, oyokaki bandayi na ngai, opesaki ngai libula ya bato oyo batosaka Kombo na Yo.

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

Pesa na mokonzi na biso bomoi molayi; tika ete awumela na bomoi.

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

Tika ete awumela na bokonzi libela na libela liboso ya Nzambe! Bolingo mpe boyengebene na Yo ekobatela ye.

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

Boye, nakoyemba mikolo nyonso mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo, mpe nakokokisa bandayi na ngai mokolo na mokolo.
