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.

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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