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. On stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God, be attentive to my prayer.

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

From the ends of the earth I call unto you, when my heart is faint: lead me to the rock that is high above me.

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

For you are a refuge to me, a strong tower in face of the foe.

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

O to be guest in your tent forever, hiding beneath your sheltering wings! (Selah)

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

For you, O God, do hear my vows, and grant the desires of those who fear you.

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

Add many days to the life of the king; may his years endure throughout all generations.

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

In the presence of God be he throned forever; may kindness and faithfulness watch over him.

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

And I will sing praise to your name forever, paying my vows day after day.
