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!

Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, sikia kilio changu, usikilize maombi yangu.

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!

Kutoka miisho ya dunia ninakuita, ninaita huku moyo wangu unadhoofika; uniongoze kwenye mwamba ule ulio juu kuliko mimi.

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

Kwa kuwa umekuwa kimbilio langu, ngome imara dhidi ya adui.

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

Natamani kukaa hemani mwako milele, na kukimbilia chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako.

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

Ee Mungu, kwa kuwa umesikia nadhiri zangu, umenipa urithi wa wale wanaoliogopa jina lako.

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

Mwongezee mfalme siku za maisha yake, miaka yake kwa vizazi vingi.

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

Yeye na atawazwe kwenye kiti cha enzi mbele za Mungu milele; amuru upendo wako na uaminifu wako vimlinde.

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

Ndipo daima nitaliimbia sifa jina lako na kuzitimiza nadhiri zangu siku baada ya siku.
