Zaburi 61

1 Sikia kulia kwangu, shughulikia maombi yangu.

For the end, among the Hymns of David. O God, hearken to my petition; 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 have I cried to thee, when my heart was in trouble: thou liftedst me up on a rock thou didst guide me:

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

because thou wert my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

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

I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of thy wings. (Pause)

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

For thou, o God, hast heard my prayers; thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

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

Thou shalt add days to the days of the king; [thou shalt lengthen] his years to all generations.

7 Yeye atabakia mbele ya Mungu milele.

He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

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

So will I sing to thy name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
