Psalms 61

1 “For the leader of the music. To be sung upon stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear my cry, O God! Attend to my prayer!

Kumutungamiri wokuimba, nomutengeranwa une hungiso. Pisarema raDhavhidhi. Inzwai kuchema kwangu, imi Mwari; rerekerai nzeve yenyu kumunyengetero wangu.

2 From the extremity of the land I cry unto thee in deep sorrow of heart; Lead me to the rock that is high above me!

Kubva kumigumo yenyika, ndinodanidzira kwamuri, ndinodana sezvo mwoyo wangu woziya; nditungamirirei kudombo rakakwirira kundipfuura.

3 For thou art my refuge, My strong tower against the enemy.

Nokuti imi makanga muri utiziro hwangu, shongwe yakasimba pamusoro pavavengi vangu.

4 I shall dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will seek refuge under the covert of thy wings.

Ndinopanga kugara mutende renyu nokusingaperi, uye nokuvanda mumumvuri wamapapiro enyu. Sera

5 For thou, O God! wilt hear my vows, And give me the inheritance of those who fear thy name.

Nokuti makanzwa mhiko dzangu, imi Mwari; makandipa nhaka yaavo vanotya zita renyu.

6 O prolong the life of the king! May his years extend through many generations!

Wedzerai mazuva oupenyu hwamambo, makore ake kumarudzi namarudzi.

7 May he reign for ever before God! Grant that mercy and truth may preserve him!

Ngaagare pachigaro choushe pamberi paMwari nokusingaperi; gadzai rudo nokutendeka kwenyu kuti zvimudzivirire.

8 So will I sing praise to thy name for ever; I will daily perform my vows.

Ipapo ndichagara ndichirumbidza zita renyu nenziyo, uye ndichazadzisa mhiko dzangu zuva nezuva.
