Zaburi 61

1 Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, sikia kilio changu, usikilize maombi yangu.

Unto the end, in hymns, for David. Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer,

2 Kutoka miisho ya dunia ninakuita, ninaita huku moyo wangu unadhoofika; uniongoze kwenye mwamba ule ulio juu kuliko mimi.

To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;

3 Kwa kuwa umekuwa kimbilio langu, ngome imara dhidi ya adui.

For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

4 Natamani kukaa hemani mwako milele, na kukimbilia chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako.

In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

5 Ee Mungu, kwa kuwa umesikia nadhiri zangu, umenipa urithi wa wale wanaoliogopa jina lako.

For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

6 Mwongezee mfalme siku za maisha yake, miaka yake kwa vizazi vingi.

Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

7 Yeye na atawazwe kwenye kiti cha enzi mbele za Mungu milele; amuru upendo wako na uaminifu wako vimlinde.

He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

8 Ndipo daima nitaliimbia sifa jina lako na kuzitimiza nadhiri zangu siku baada ya siku.

So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.
