Psalms 61

1 To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto my prayer.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kutshaywa iziginci. ElikaDavida. Zwana ukukhala kwami, Oh Nkulunkulu; lalela umkhuleko wami.

2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

Ngisemkhawulweni womhlaba ngiyakubiza, ngiyabiza lapho inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla; ngikhokhelela edwaleni eliphakeme kulami.

3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

Ngoba ube uyisiphephelo sami, inqaba eqinileyo evikela esitheni.

4 I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

Ngiyalangazelela ukuhlala ethenteni lakho laphakade ngizifihle emthunzini wamaphiko akho.

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those that fear thy name.

Phela usuzizwile izifungo zami, Oh Nkulunkulu; usungiphile ilifa lalabo abalesabayo ibizo lakho.

6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

Yandisa insuku zempilo yenkosi, iminyaka yayo okwezizukulwane ezinengi.

7 He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

Sengathi ingaba sesihlalweni iphambi kukaNkulunkulu nini lanini; wabele uthando Lwakho lokuthembeka Kwakho kuyivikele.

8 So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.

Lapho-ke ngizahlala ngihlabelela indumiso ebizweni Lakho ngigcwalise izifungo zami insuku ngensuku.
