Psalms 61

1 To the chief music-maker. On a corded instrument. Of David. Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open 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 end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.

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 secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

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

4 I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah)

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

5 For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

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

6 You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.

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

7 May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

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

8 So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.

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