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.

Nkunga Davidi kuidi pfumu minyimbidi; kayimbidila mu lusinga. Wa yamikina kuama, e Nzambi tamba dikutu mulusambulu luama

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,

Tona kusukinina ntoto, ngeyo ndintela; nditela bu ntimꞌama wumevonga ngolo; wundati va mbata dibanga diodi dindutidi mu nangama.

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

Bila ngeyo wuba suamunu kiama; ngeyo wuba nzo yizangama ayi yingolo va ntuala mutu weti kundenda.

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

Ndiela zingila mu nzo aku yi ngoto; mu zithangu zioso ayi ndiela suamina ku tsi mavavi maku.

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

Bila ngeyo, wuwa zikhanu ziama, e Nzambi; ngeyo wuphana kiuka ki batu bobo beti kinzika dizina diaku.

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

Buela bilumbu bi luzingu lu ntinu, mimvu miandi mu diambu di zitsungu ziwombo.

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

Bika kavuanda va kundu ki kipfumu va meso ma Nzambi mu zithangu zioso; tula luzolo luaku ayi kikhuikizi kiaku mu kunkeba.

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

Buna ndiela yimbidila nzitusu mu diambu di dizina diaku mu zithangu zioso ayi ndiela dedikisa zikhanu ziama lumbu ka lumbu.
