Zaburi 61

1 Sikia kulia kwangu, shughulikia maombi yangu.

For the end, amongst the Hymns of David. O God, listen 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 you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me:

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

because you were 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 your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. (Pause)

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

For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name.

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

You shall add days to the days of the king; [you shall 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 your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
