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, [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 end of the earth will I cry to thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock [that] is higher than I.

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

For thou hast been a shelter for me, [and] a strong tower from the enemy.

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

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust 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 given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

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

Thou wilt prolong the king's life: [and] his years as many generations.

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

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, [which] 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, that I may daily perform my vows.
