Zabura 61

1 Don mai bi da kaɗe-kaɗe. Da kayan kiɗi masu tsirkiya. Ta Dawuda. Ka ji kukata, ya Allah; ka saurari addu’ata.

God, listen to me, and answer my prayer [DOU]!

2 Daga iyakar duniya na yi kira gare ka, na yi kira yayinda zuciyata ta karai; ka bishe ni zuwa dutsen da ya fi ni tsayi.

While I am discouraged and far from my home, I am calling out to you. Lead me to [the place that is like] a high rock [MET] on top of which I will be safe.

3 Gama kai ne mafakata, hasumiya mai ƙarfi gāba da maƙiyi.

You have been my refuge; you have been [like] a strong tower [MET] [in which I am safe] from being attacked by my enemies.

4 Ina marmari in zauna a tentinka har abada in sami mafaka a cikin inuwar fikafikanka. (Sela)

Allow me to live close to your temple all during my life [HYP]! Allow me to be safe [MET], [like a little bird is safe] under [its mother’s] wings.

5 Gama ka ji alkawarina, ya Allah; ka ba ni gādo na waɗanda suke tsoron sunanka.

God, you heard me when I solemnly promised [to give offerings to you]; you have given to me the blessings that belong to those who have an awesome respect for you [MTY].

6 Ka ƙara kwanakin ran sarki, shekarunsa su kasance a zamanai masu yawa.

[I am] the king [of Israel]; [please] allow me to live [and rule] for many years, and allow my descendants to rule [also].

7 Bari yă yi mulki a gaban Allah har abada; ka sa ƙaunarka da amincinka su tsare shi.

Allow us to rule forever while you observe us; watch over us while you faithfully love us and do for us what you promised.

8 Sa’an nan zan riƙa rera yabo ga sunanka in kuma cika alkawarina kowace rana.

If you do that, I will always sing to praise you [MTY] while I offer to you each day the sacrifices that I promised to give to you.
