Psalm 61

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

Sh'ma ·Hear obey· my cry, God. 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, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed. 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 a refuge for me, a strong tower from 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 will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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

For you, God, have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

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

You will prolong the king’s life; his years shall be for generations.

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

He shall be enthroned in God’s presence forever. Appoint your chesed ·loving-kindness· and truth, that they 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 I will sing zahmar ·musical praise· to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows daily.
