Psalm 61

1 [Psalm lal David] Lohng tung luk, O God; Porongo pre luk!

For the chief musician; on a stringed instrument. A psalm of David. Hear my cry, God; attend to my prayer.

2 Nga pang nu sum Ke nga muta loesla liki acn sik ac nga fuhleak finsrak luk. Usyu nu ke sie acn in molela,

From the ends of the earth will I call to you when my heart is faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 Tuh kom nien wikla luk, Ac mwet kasru ku luk in lain mwet lokoalok luk.

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

4 Lela nga in muta in lohm mutal sum in moul luk nufon; Lela nga in konauk nien molela luk ye lulin poum.

Let me live in your tabernacle forever! Let me take refuge under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

5 Tuh kom lohng wulela luk, O God, Ac kom ase nu sik mwe usru lun mwet su sunakin kom.

For you, God, have heard my vows, you have given me the inheritance of those who honor your name.

6 Akloesye moul lun tokosra; Lela tuh elan moul paht!

You will prolong the king's life; his years will be like many generations.

7 Lela tuh elan leum ma pahtpat ye motom, O God; Karinganul ke lungse kawil ac oaru lom.

He will remain before God forever.

8 Ke ma inge nga fah on ac kaksakin kom pacl e nukewa, Oana ke nga oru mwe kisa luk nu sum len nukewa, fal nu ke wulela luk.

I will sing praise to your name forever so that I may perform my vows every day.
