Psalms 61

1 For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. God, please hear my cry for help; please listen to my prayer.

[Psalm lal David] Lohng tung luk, O God; Porongo pre luk!

2 From this distant place, far from home, I cry out to you as my courage fails. Take me to a rock high above me where I will be safe,

Nga pang nu sum Ke nga muta loesla liki acn sik ac nga fuhleak finsrak luk. Usyu nu ke sie acn in molela,

3 for you are my protection, a strong tower where my enemies cannot attack me.

Tuh kom nien wikla luk, Ac mwet kasru ku luk in lain mwet lokoalok luk.

4 Let me live with you forever; protect me under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

Lela nga in muta in lohm mutal sum in moul luk nufon; Lela nga in konauk nien molela luk ye lulin poum.

5 For you, God, have heard the promises I've made. You have given all those who love your character your special blessing.

Tuh kom lohng wulela luk, O God, Ac kom ase nu sik mwe usru lun mwet su sunakin kom.

6 Please give the king many extra years; may his reign last through generations.

Akloesye moul lun tokosra; Lela tuh elan moul paht!

7 May he always live in your presence; may your trustworthy love and faithfulness protect him.

Lela tuh elan leum ma pahtpat ye motom, O God; Karinganul ke lungse kawil ac oaru lom.

8 Then I will always sing praises to you, and every day I will keep my promises to you.

Ke ma inge nga fah on ac kaksakin kom pacl e nukewa, Oana ke nga oru mwe kisa luk nu sum len nukewa, fal nu ke wulela luk.
