Psalms 61

1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. BY DAVID. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.

Zwana, Nkulunkulu, ukukhala kwami, ulalele umkhuleko wami.

2 I call to You from the end of the land, In the feebleness of my heart, You lead me into a rock higher than I.

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

3 For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.

Ngoba ubuyisiphephelo sami, inqaba eqinileyo kuso isitha.

4 I sojourn in Your tent for all ages, I trust in the secret place of Your wings. (Selah)

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

5 For You, O God, have listened to my vows, You have appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Your Name.

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

6 You add days to the days of the king, His years as generation and generation.

Uzakwengeza izinsuku ezinsukwini zenkosi; iminyaka yayo izakuba njengesizukulwana lesizukulwana.

7 He dwells before God for all time, Appoint kindness and truth—they keep him.

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

8 So I praise Your Name forever, When I pay my vows day by day!

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