Zaburi 61

1 Sikia kulia kwangu, shughulikia maombi yangu.

Hear my cry, O God. Attend to my prayer.

2 Kutokea mwisho wa nchi nitakuita wewe wakati moyo wangu umeelemewa; uniongoze kwenye mwamba ulio juu kuliko mimi.

From the end of the earth I will call to thee when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 Maana wewe umekuwa kimbilio langu la usalama, nguzo imara dhidi ya adui.

For thou have been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

4 Uniache niishi hemani mwako milele! Nipate kimbilio salama chini ya makazi ya mbawa zako. (Selah)

I will dwell in thy tabernacle forever. I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

5 Kwa kuwa wewe, Mungu, umesikia viapo vyangu, wewe umenipa mimi urithi wa wale wanao liheshimu jina lako.

For thou, O God, have heard my vows. Thou have given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.

6 Wewe utaongeza maisha ya mfalme; miaka yake itakuwa kama vizazi vingi.

Thou will prolong the king's life. His years shall be as many generations.

7 Yeye atabakia mbele ya Mungu milele.

He shall abide before God forever. O prepare loving kindness and truth that they may preserve him.

8 Nitaliimbia sifa jina lako milele ili kwamba niweze kufanya viapo vyangu kila siku.

So I will sing praise to thy name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.
