< Psalms 61 >
1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.
Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, sikia kilio changu, usikilize maombi yangu.
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.
Kutoka miisho ya dunia ninakuita, ninaita huku moyo wangu unadhoofika; uniongoze kwenye mwamba ule ulio juu kuliko mimi.
3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower from the enemy.
Kwa kuwa umekuwa kimbilio langu, ngome imara dhidi ya adui.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)
Natamani kukaa hemani mwako milele, na kukimbilia chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako.
5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.
Ee Mungu, kwa kuwa umesikia nadhiri zangu, umenipa urithi wa wale wanaoliogopa jina lako.
6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: [and] his years as many generations.
Mwongezee mfalme siku za maisha yake, miaka yake kwa vizazi vingi.
7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him.
Yeye na atawazwe kwenye kiti cha enzi mbele za Mungu milele; amuru upendo wako na uaminifu wako vimlinde.
8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
Ndipo daima nitaliimbia sifa jina lako na kuzitimiza nadhiri zangu siku baada ya siku.
