< Psalms 61 >
1 Hear my cry, O God; 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 cry unto you, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Ngisemkhawulweni womhlaba ngiyakubiza, ngiyabiza lapho inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla; ngikhokhelela edwaleni eliphakeme kulami.
3 For you have been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.
Ngoba ube uyisiphephelo sami, inqaba eqinileyo evikela esitheni.
4 I will abide in your tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of your wings. (Selah)
Ngiyalangazelela ukuhlala ethenteni lakho laphakade ngizifihle emthunzini wamaphiko akho.
5 For you, O God, have heard my vows: you have given me the heritage of those that fear your name.
Phela usuzizwile izifungo zami, Oh Nkulunkulu; usungiphile ilifa lalabo abalesabayo ibizo lakho.
6 You will prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.
Yandisa insuku zempilo yenkosi, iminyaka yayo okwezizukulwane ezinengi.
7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.
Sengathi ingaba sesihlalweni iphambi kukaNkulunkulu nini lanini; wabele uthando Lwakho lokuthembeka Kwakho kuyivikele.
8 So will I sing praise unto your name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
Lapho-ke ngizahlala ngihlabelela indumiso ebizweni Lakho ngigcwalise izifungo zami insuku ngensuku.
