Psalms 61

1 For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

Sikia kulia kwangu, shughulikia maombi yangu.

2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Kutokea mwisho wa nchi nitakuita wewe wakati moyo wangu umeelemewa; uniongoze kwenye mwamba ulio juu kuliko mimi.

3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

Maana wewe umekuwa kimbilio langu la usalama, nguzo imara dhidi ya adui.

4 I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

Uniache niishi hemani mwako milele! Nipate kimbilio salama chini ya makazi ya mbawa zako. (Selah)

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

Kwa kuwa wewe, Mungu, umesikia viapo vyangu, wewe umenipa mimi urithi wa wale wanao liheshimu jina lako.

6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: his years shall be as many generations.

Wewe utaongeza maisha ya mfalme; miaka yake itakuwa kama vizazi vingi.

7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

Yeye atabakia mbele ya Mungu milele.

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Nitaliimbia sifa jina lako milele ili kwamba niweze kufanya viapo vyangu kila siku.
