Psalms 61

1 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

Zwana, Nkulunkulu, ukukhala kwami, ulalele umkhuleko wami.

2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Ngisemkhawulweni womhlaba ngizakhala kuwe, inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla; ngikhokhelela edwaleni eliphakemeyo kulami.

3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

Ngoba ubuyisiphephelo sami, inqaba eqinileyo kuso isitha.

4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

Ngizahlala ethenteni lakho kuze kube nininini, ngiphephele kungubudo yempiko zakho. (Sela)

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

Ngoba wena, Nkulunkulu, uzwile izifungo zami, wanginika ilifa labesaba ibizo lakho.

6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.

Uzakwengeza izinsuku ezinsukwini zenkosi; iminyaka yayo izakuba njengesizukulwana lesizukulwana.

7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

Kayihlale phambi kukaNkulunkulu kuze kube nininini; umise umusa leqiniso, ukuze kuyilondoloze.

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Ngalokho ngizahlabela indumiso ebizweni lakho kuze kube nininini, ukuze ngigcwalise izifungo zami insuku ngensuku.
