Psalms 61

1 For the Chief Musician; on a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

Kwa mwimbishaji. Kwa ala za nyuzi za uimbaji. Zaburi ya Daudi. Ee Mungu, sikia kilio changu, usikilize maombi yangu.

2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

Kutoka miisho ya dunia ninakuita, ninaita huku moyo wangu unadhoofika; uniongoze kwenye mwamba ule ulio juu kuliko mimi.

3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from the enemy.

Kwa kuwa umekuwa kimbilio langu, ngome imara dhidi ya adui.

4 I will dwell in thy tabernacle for ever: I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

Natamani kukaa hemani mwako milele, na kukimbilia chini ya uvuli wa mbawa zako.

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given [me] the heritage of those that fear thy name.

Ee Mungu, kwa kuwa umesikia nadhiri zangu, umenipa urithi wa wale wanaoliogopa jina lako.

6 Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: his years shall be as many generations.

Mwongezee mfalme siku za maisha yake, miaka yake kwa vizazi vingi.

7 He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare lovingkindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

Yeye na atawazwe kwenye kiti cha enzi mbele za Mungu milele; amuru upendo wako na uaminifu wako vimlinde.

8 So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

Ndipo daima nitaliimbia sifa jina lako na kuzitimiza nadhiri zangu siku baada ya siku.
