Psalms 61

1 For the leader. On stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God, be attentive to my prayer.

Kumqondisi wokuhlabela. Kutshaywa iziginci. ElikaDavida. Zwana ukukhala kwami, Oh Nkulunkulu; lalela umkhuleko wami.

2 From the ends of the earth I call unto you, when my heart is faint: lead me to the rock that is high above me.

Ngisemkhawulweni womhlaba ngiyakubiza, ngiyabiza lapho inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla; ngikhokhelela edwaleni eliphakeme kulami.

3 For you are a refuge to me, a strong tower in face of the foe.

Ngoba ube uyisiphephelo sami, inqaba eqinileyo evikela esitheni.

4 O to be guest in your tent forever, hiding beneath your sheltering wings! (Selah)

Ngiyalangazelela ukuhlala ethenteni lakho laphakade ngizifihle emthunzini wamaphiko akho.

5 For you, O God, do hear my vows, and grant the desires of those who fear you.

Phela usuzizwile izifungo zami, Oh Nkulunkulu; usungiphile ilifa lalabo abalesabayo ibizo lakho.

6 Add many days to the life of the king; may his years endure throughout all generations.

Yandisa insuku zempilo yenkosi, iminyaka yayo okwezizukulwane ezinengi.

7 In the presence of God be he throned forever; may kindness and faithfulness watch over him.

Sengathi ingaba sesihlalweni iphambi kukaNkulunkulu nini lanini; wabele uthando Lwakho lokuthembeka Kwakho kuyivikele.

8 And I will sing praise to your name forever, paying my vows day after day.

Lapho-ke ngizahlala ngihlabelela indumiso ebizweni Lakho ngigcwalise izifungo zami insuku ngensuku.
