Psalm 61

1 [Psalm lal David] Lohng tung luk, O God; Porongo pre luk!

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

2 Nga pang nu sum Ke nga muta loesla liki acn sik ac nga fuhleak finsrak luk. Usyu nu ke sie acn in molela,

From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 Tuh kom nien wikla luk, Ac mwet kasru ku luk in lain mwet lokoalok luk.

For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

4 Lela nga in muta in lohm mutal sum in moul luk nufon; Lela nga in konauk nien molela luk ye lulin poum.

Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

5 Tuh kom lohng wulela luk, O God, Ac kom ase nu sik mwe usru lun mwet su sunakin kom.

For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

6 Akloesye moul lun tokosra; Lela tuh elan moul paht!

Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

7 Lela tuh elan leum ma pahtpat ye motom, O God; Karinganul ke lungse kawil ac oaru lom.

May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

8 Ke ma inge nga fah on ac kaksakin kom pacl e nukewa, Oana ke nga oru mwe kisa luk nu sum len nukewa, fal nu ke wulela luk.

Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
