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 mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, sikia kilio changu, usikilize maombi yangu.

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.

Kutoka miisho ya dunia ninakuita, ninaita huku moyo wangu unadhoofika; uniongoze kwenye mwamba ule ulio juu kuliko mimi.

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

Kwa kuwa umekuwa kimbilio langu, ngome imara dhidi ya adui.

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

Natamani kukaa hemani mwako milele, na kukimbilia chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako.

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.

Ee Mungu, kwa kuwa umesikia nadhiri zangu, umenipa urithi wa wale wanaoliogopa jina lako.

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

Mwongezee mfalme siku za maisha yake, miaka yake kwa vizazi vingi.

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

Yeye na atawazwe kwenye kiti cha enzi mbele za Mungu milele; amuru upendo wako na uaminifu wako vimlinde.

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

Ndipo daima nitaliimbia sifa jina lako na kuzitimiza nadhiri zangu siku baada ya siku.
