Zaburi 61

1 Sikia kulia kwangu, shughulikia maombi yangu.

“For the leader of the music. To be sung upon stringed instruments. A psalm 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 extremity of the land I cry unto thee in deep sorrow of heart; Lead me to the rock that is high above me!

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

For thou art my refuge, My strong tower against the enemy.

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

I shall dwell in thy tabernacle for ever; I will seek refuge under the covert of thy wings.

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

For thou, O God! wilt hear my vows, And give me the inheritance of those who fear thy name.

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

O prolong the life of the king! May his years extend through many generations!

7 Yeye atabakia mbele ya Mungu milele.

May he reign for ever before God! Grant that mercy and truth may preserve him!

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

So will I sing praise to thy name for ever; I will daily perform my vows.
