Zaburi 61

1 Sikia kulia kwangu, shughulikia maombi yangu.

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. 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 ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

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

Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

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

For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

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

Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

7 Yeye atabakia mbele ya Mungu milele.

May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

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

Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
