Zaburi 61

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

For the Leader; with string-music. A Psalm of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto 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 will I call unto Thee, when my heart fainteth; lead me to a rock that is too high for me.

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

For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.

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

I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever; 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, hast heard my vows; Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name.

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

Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations!

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

May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
