Psalm 61

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

“To the chief musician upon Neginah, by David.” Hear, O God, my entreaty; listen 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 end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is too high for me.

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

For thou hast been a shelter unto me, a strong tower 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 sojourn in thy tent to all eternity; let me be sheltered under the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

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

For thou, O God, hast truly listened to my vows: thou hast given back the heritage of those that fear thy name.

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

Oh, add days unto the king's days: may his years be as of many generations.

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

May he abide for ever before God: ordain that kindness and truth may 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.

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may pay my vows day by day.
