< Psalms 61 >
1 “To the chief musician upon Neginah, by David.” Hear, O God, my entreaty; listen to my prayer.
Sikia kulia kwangu, shughulikia maombi yangu.
2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is too high for me.
Kutokea mwisho wa nchi nitakuita wewe wakati moyo wangu umeelemewa; uniongoze kwenye mwamba ulio juu kuliko mimi.
3 For thou hast been a shelter unto me, a strong tower against the enemy.
Maana wewe umekuwa kimbilio langu la usalama, nguzo imara dhidi ya adui.
4 Let me sojourn in thy tent to all eternity; let me be sheltered under the covert of thy wings. (Selah)
Uniache niishi hemani mwako milele! Nipate kimbilio salama chini ya makazi ya mbawa zako. (Selah)
5 For thou, O God, hast truly listened to my vows: thou hast given back the heritage of those that fear thy name.
Kwa kuwa wewe, Mungu, umesikia viapo vyangu, wewe umenipa mimi urithi wa wale wanao liheshimu jina lako.
6 Oh, add days unto the king's days: may his years be as of many generations.
Wewe utaongeza maisha ya mfalme; miaka yake itakuwa kama vizazi vingi.
7 May he abide for ever before God: ordain that kindness and truth may guard him.
Yeye atabakia mbele ya Mungu milele.
8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may pay my vows day by day.
Nitaliimbia sifa jina lako milele ili kwamba niweze kufanya viapo vyangu kila siku.
