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.

Untuk pemimpin biduan. Dengan permainan kecapi. Dari Daud. Dengarkanlah kiranya seruanku, ya Allah, perhatikanlah doaku!

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.

Dari ujung bumi aku berseru kepada-Mu, karena hatiku lemah lesu; tuntunlah aku ke gunung batu yang terlalu tinggi bagiku.

3 For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

Sungguh Engkau telah menjadi tempat perlindunganku, menara yang kuat terhadap musuh.

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

Biarlah aku menumpang di dalam kemah-Mu untuk selama-lamanya, biarlah aku berlindung dalam naungan sayap-Mu! (Sela)

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.

Sungguh, Engkau, ya Allah, telah mendengarkan nazarku, telah memenuhi permintaan orang-orang yang takut akan nama-Mu.

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

Tambahilah umur raja, tahun-tahun hidupnya kiranya sampai turun-temurun;

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

kiranya ia bersemayam di hadapan Allah selama-lamanya, titahkanlah kasih setia dan kebenaran menjaga dia.

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

Maka aku hendak memazmurkan nama-Mu untuk selamanya, sedang aku membayar nazarku hari demi hari.
