Psalm 61

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

For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David. Hear 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)

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

For you, God, have heard 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 will 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 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 praise to your name forever, that I may fulfil my vows daily.
