Psalms 61

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

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Wulira okukaaba kwange, Ayi Katonda; wulira okusaba kwange.

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.

Nkukoowoola okuva ku nkomerero y’ensi, omutima gwange nga gugenda gunafuwa. Onkulembere ontuuse ku lwazi olunsinga obuwanvu mwe nnyinza okwekweka.

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

Kubanga gw’oli kiddukiro kyange. Oli kigo eky’amaanyi mwe neekweka omulabe.

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

Nnaabeeranga mu weema yo ennaku zonna; ndyoke nkuumirwenga mu biwaawaatiro byo.

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

Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Katonda, owulidde obweyamo bwange: ompadde omugabo awamu n’abo abatya erinnya lyo.

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

Oyongere ku nnaku z’obulamu bwa kabaka; emyaka gye gimutuuse mu mirembe mingi,

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

alyoke abeerenga mu maaso ga Katonda ennaku zonna. Okwagala kwo n’obwesigwa bwo bimukuumenga.

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

Ndyoke nnyimbenga nga ntendereza erinnya lyo ennaku zonna, nga ntuukiriza obweyamo bwange buli lunaku.
