< 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 of the music. To be sung upon stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” 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 extremity of the land I cry unto thee in deep sorrow of heart; Lead me to the rock that is high above me!
3 Kwa kuwa umekuwa kimbilio langu, ngome imara dhidi ya adui.
For thou art my refuge, My strong tower against the enemy.
4 Natamani kukaa hemani mwako milele, na kukimbilia chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako.
I shall dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will seek refuge under the covert of thy wings.
5 Ee Mungu, kwa kuwa umesikia nadhiri zangu, umenipa urithi wa wale wanaoliogopa jina lako.
For thou, O God! wilt hear my vows, And give me the inheritance of those who fear thy name.
6 Mwongezee mfalme siku za maisha yake, miaka yake kwa vizazi vingi.
O prolong the life of the king! May his years extend through many generations!
7 Yeye na atawazwe kwenye kiti cha enzi mbele za Mungu milele; amuru upendo wako na uaminifu wako vimlinde.
May he reign for ever before God! Grant that mercy and truth may preserve him!
8 Ndipo daima nitaliimbia sifa jina lako na kuzitimiza nadhiri zangu siku baada ya siku.
So will I sing praise to thy name for ever; I will daily perform my vows.
