Psalms 61

1 For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide. Loyimbidwa ndi zipangizo za zingwe. Imvani kulira kwanga, Inu Mulungu; mvetserani pemphero langa.

2 From the end of the earth, I will call to you when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Kuchokera ku malekezero a dziko lapansi ine ndimayitana Inu ndimayitana pomwe mtima wanga ukufowoka; tsogolereni ku thanthwe lalitali kuposa ineyo.

3 For you have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

Pakuti Inu mwakhala pothawirapo panga, nsanja yolimba polimbana ndi adani anga.

4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

Ine ndikulakalaka kukhala mʼtenti yanu kwamuyaya ndi kupeza chitetezo mu mthunzi wa mapiko anu.

5 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

Pakuti Inu Mulungu mwamva malumbiro anga; mwandipatsa cholowa cha iwo amene amaopa dzina lanu.

6 You will prolong the king’s life. His years will be for generations.

Wonjezerani masiku a moyo wa mfumu, zaka zake kwa mibado yochuluka.

7 He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

Iye akhale pa mpando waufumu pamaso pa Mulungu kwamuyaya; ikani chikondi chanu ndi kukhulupirika kwanu kuti zimuteteze.

8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfil my vows daily.

Kotero ndidzayimba matamando kwamuyaya pa dzina lanu ndi kukwaniritsa malumbiro anga tsiku ndi tsiku.
