Psalms 61

1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

1 Ee Mungu, sikia kilio changu, usikilize maombi yangu.

2 From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

3 For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

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

4 Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings. Selah

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

5 For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

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

6 Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

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

7 May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

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

8 Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.

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