Psalm 61

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

“For the leader of the music. To be sung upon stringed instruments. A psalm 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 extremity of the land I cry unto thee in deep sorrow of heart; Lead me to the rock that is high above me!

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

For thou art my refuge, My 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.

I shall dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will seek refuge under the covert of thy wings.

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

For thou, O God! wilt hear my vows, And give me the inheritance of those who fear thy name.

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

O prolong the life of the king! May his years extend through many generations!

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

May he reign for ever before God! Grant that mercy and truth may preserve 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 to thy name for ever; I will daily perform my vows.
