Psalms 61

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

Ya Mukulu wa Bayimbi. Ebivuga eby’enkoba. Zabbuli ya Dawudi. Wulira okukaaba kwange, Ayi Katonda; wulira okusaba kwange.

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.

Nkukoowoola okuva ku nkomerero y’ensi, omutima gwange nga gugenda gunafuwa. Onkulembere ontuuse ku lwazi olunsinga obuwanvu mwe nnyinza okwekweka.

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

Kubanga gw’oli kiddukiro kyange. Oli kigo eky’amaanyi mwe neekweka omulabe.

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

Nnaabeeranga mu weema yo ennaku zonna; ndyoke nkuumirwenga mu biwaawaatiro byo.

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

Kubanga ggwe, Ayi Katonda, owulidde obweyamo bwange: ompadde omugabo awamu n’abo abatya erinnya lyo.

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

Oyongere ku nnaku z’obulamu bwa kabaka; emyaka gye gimutuuse mu mirembe mingi,

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

alyoke abeerenga mu maaso ga Katonda ennaku zonna. Okwagala kwo n’obwesigwa bwo bimukuumenga.

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

Ndyoke nnyimbenga nga ntendereza erinnya lyo ennaku zonna, nga ntuukiriza obweyamo bwange buli lunaku.
