Psalms 61

1 For the end, among the Hymns of David. O God, listen to my petition; attend to my prayer.

Wuta na buku ya mokambi ya bayembi. Eyembamaki na lindanda. Nzembo ya Davidi. Oh Nzambe, yoka koganga na ngai, yoka na bokebi losambo na ngai.

2 From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me:

Wuta na suka ya mokili, nazali kobelela Yo, motema na ngai ebukani! Mema ngai na libanga oyo eleki likolo epai wapi nakokoka te kokoma ngai moko.

3 because you were my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

Pamba te, ozali ebombamelo na ngai, ndako molayi batonga makasi, liboso ya banguna na ngai.

4 I will dwell in your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. (Pause)

Posa ya motema na ngai ezali: kovanda tango nyonso kati na Ndako na Yo mpe kozwa ebombamelo na se ya mapapu na Yo.

5 For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name.

Pamba te Yo Nzambe, oyokaki bandayi na ngai, opesaki ngai libula ya bato oyo batosaka Kombo na Yo.

6 You shall add days to the days of the king; [you shall lengthen] his years to all generations.

Pesa na mokonzi na biso bomoi molayi; tika ete awumela na bomoi.

7 He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

Tika ete awumela na bokonzi libela na libela liboso ya Nzambe! Bolingo mpe boyengebene na Yo ekobatela ye.

8 So will I sing to your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Boye, nakoyemba mikolo nyonso mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo, mpe nakokokisa bandayi na ngai mokolo na mokolo.
