Zaburi 61

1 Sikia kulia kwangu, shughulikia maombi yangu.

To the chief Musician upon Neginah, 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 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 Maana wewe umekuwa kimbilio langu la usalama, nguzo imara dhidi ya adui.

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

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

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the shelter 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, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

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

Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.

7 Yeye atabakia mbele ya Mungu milele.

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