< Psalms 61 >
1 To the chief Musician upon Neginah, [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.
Sikia kulia kwangu, shughulikia maombi yangu.
2 From the end of the earth will I cry to 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 shelter for me, [and] a strong tower from the enemy.
Maana wewe umekuwa kimbilio langu la usalama, nguzo imara dhidi ya adui.
4 I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust 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: [and] his years as many generations.
Wewe utaongeza maisha ya mfalme; miaka yake itakuwa kama vizazi vingi.
7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, [which] may preserve him.
Yeye atabakia mbele ya Mungu milele.
8 So will I sing praise to thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
Nitaliimbia sifa jina lako milele ili kwamba niweze kufanya viapo vyangu kila siku.
