Zaburi 61

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

“To the chief musician upon Neginah, by David.” Hear, O God, my entreaty; listen 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 will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is too high for me.

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

For thou hast been a shelter unto me, a strong tower against the enemy.

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

Let me sojourn in thy tent to all eternity; let me be sheltered under 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 truly listened to my vows: thou hast given back the heritage of those that fear thy name.

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

Oh, add days unto the king's days: may his years be as of many generations.

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

May he abide for ever before God: ordain that kindness and truth may guard 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 pay my vows day by day.
