< Psalms 61 >

1 For the chief musician; on a stringed instrument. A psalm of David. Hear my cry, God; attend to my prayer.
Zwana, Nkulunkulu, ukukhala kwami, ulalele umkhuleko wami.
2 From the ends of the earth will I call to you when my heart is faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Ngisemkhawulweni womhlaba ngizakhala kuwe, inhliziyo yami isiphela amandla; ngikhokhelela edwaleni eliphakemeyo kulami.
3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.
Ngoba ubuyisiphephelo sami, inqaba eqinileyo kuso isitha.
4 Let me live in your tabernacle forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)
Ngizahlala ethenteni lakho kuze kube nininini, ngiphephele kungubudo yempiko zakho. (Sela)
5 For you, God, have heard my vows, you have given me the inheritance of those who honor your name.
Ngoba wena, Nkulunkulu, uzwile izifungo zami, wanginika ilifa labesaba ibizo lakho.
6 You will prolong the king's life; his years will be like many generations.
Uzakwengeza izinsuku ezinsukwini zenkosi; iminyaka yayo izakuba njengesizukulwana lesizukulwana.
7 He will remain before God forever.
Kayihlale phambi kukaNkulunkulu kuze kube nininini; umise umusa leqiniso, ukuze kuyilondoloze.
8 I will sing praise to your name forever so that I may perform my vows every day.
Ngalokho ngizahlabela indumiso ebizweni lakho kuze kube nininini, ukuze ngigcwalise izifungo zami insuku ngensuku.
