< Psalms 61 >
1 TO THE OVERSEER. ON STRINGED INSTRUMENTS. BY DAVID. Hear, O God, my loud cry, attend to my prayer.
Sikia kulia kwangu, shughulikia maombi yangu.
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.
Kutokea mwisho wa nchi nitakuita wewe wakati moyo wangu umeelemewa; uniongoze kwenye mwamba ulio juu kuliko mimi.
3 For You have been a refuge for me, A tower of strength because of the enemy.
Maana wewe umekuwa kimbilio langu la usalama, nguzo imara dhidi ya adui.
4 I sojourn in Your tent for all ages, I trust in the secret place of Your wings. (Selah)
Uniache niishi hemani mwako milele! Nipate kimbilio salama chini ya makazi ya mbawa zako. (Selah)
5 For You, O God, have listened to my vows, You have appointed the inheritance Of those fearing Your Name.
Kwa kuwa wewe, Mungu, umesikia viapo vyangu, wewe umenipa mimi urithi wa wale wanao liheshimu jina lako.
6 You add days to the days of the king, His years as generation and generation.
Wewe utaongeza maisha ya mfalme; miaka yake itakuwa kama vizazi vingi.
7 He dwells before God for all time, Appoint kindness and truth—they keep him.
Yeye atabakia mbele ya Mungu milele.
8 So I praise Your Name forever, When I pay my vows day by day!
Nitaliimbia sifa jina lako milele ili kwamba niweze kufanya viapo vyangu kila siku.
