< Zaburi 61 >
1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, sikia kilio changu, usikilize maombi yangu.
Hear my cry, O God. Attend to my prayer.
2 Kutoka miisho ya dunia ninakuita, ninaita huku moyo wangu unadhoofika; uniongoze kwenye mwamba ule ulio juu kuliko mimi.
From the end of the earth I will call to thee when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 Kwa kuwa umekuwa kimbilio langu, ngome imara dhidi ya adui.
For thou have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.
4 Natamani kukaa hemani mwako milele, na kukimbilia chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako.
I will dwell in thy tabernacle forever. I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)
5 Ee Mungu, kwa kuwa umesikia nadhiri zangu, umenipa urithi wa wale wanaoliogopa jina lako.
For thou, O God, have heard my vows. Thou have given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.
6 Mwongezee mfalme siku za maisha yake, miaka yake kwa vizazi vingi.
Thou will prolong the king's life. His years shall be as many generations.
7 Yeye na atawazwe kwenye kiti cha enzi mbele za Mungu milele; amuru upendo wako na uaminifu wako vimlinde.
He shall abide before God forever. O prepare loving kindness and truth that they may preserve him.
8 Ndipo daima nitaliimbia sifa jina lako na kuzitimiza nadhiri zangu siku baada ya siku.
So I will sing praise to thy name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.
