< Psalms 61 >
1 For the chief musician; on a stringed instrument. A psalm of David. Hear my cry, God; attend to my prayer.
Sikia kulia kwangu, shughulikia maombi yangu.
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.
Kutokea mwisho wa nchi nitakuita wewe wakati moyo wangu umeelemewa; uniongoze kwenye mwamba ulio juu kuliko mimi.
3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.
Maana wewe umekuwa kimbilio langu la usalama, nguzo imara dhidi ya adui.
4 Let me live in your tabernacle forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)
Uniache niishi hemani mwako milele! Nipate kimbilio salama chini ya makazi ya mbawa zako. (Selah)
5 For you, God, have heard my vows, you have given me the inheritance of those who honor your name.
Kwa kuwa wewe, Mungu, umesikia viapo vyangu, wewe umenipa mimi urithi wa wale wanao liheshimu jina lako.
6 You will prolong the king's life; his years will be like many generations.
Wewe utaongeza maisha ya mfalme; miaka yake itakuwa kama vizazi vingi.
7 He will remain before God forever.
Yeye atabakia mbele ya Mungu milele.
8 I will sing praise to your name forever so that I may perform my vows every day.
Nitaliimbia sifa jina lako milele ili kwamba niweze kufanya viapo vyangu kila siku.
