Psalms 61

לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ ׀ עַֽל־נְגִינַ֬ת לְדָוִֽד׃

שִׁמְעָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים רִנָּתִ֑י הַ֝קְשִׁ֗יבָה תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃

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

To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.

Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

מִקְצֵ֤ה הָאָ֨רֶץ ׀ אֵלֶ֣יךָ אֶ֭קְרָא בַּעֲטֹ֣ף לִבִּ֑י בְּצוּר־יָר֖וּם מִמֶּ֣נִּי תַנְחֵֽנִי׃

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.

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

כִּֽי־הָיִ֣יתָ מַחְסֶ֣ה לִ֑י מִגְדַּל־עֹ֝֗ז מִפְּנֵ֥י אוֹיֵֽב׃

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

For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

אָג֣וּרָה בְ֭אָהָלְךָ עוֹלָמִ֑ים אֶֽחֱסֶ֨ה בְסֵ֖תֶר כְּנָפֶ֣יךָ סֶּֽלָה׃

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

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים שָׁמַ֣עְתָּ לִנְדָרָ֑י נָתַ֥תָּ יְ֝רֻשַּׁ֗ת יִרְאֵ֥י שְׁמֶֽךָ׃

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

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

יָמִ֣ים עַל־יְמֵי־מֶ֣לֶךְ תּוֹסִ֑יף שְׁ֝נוֹתָ֗יו כְּמוֹ־דֹ֥ר וָדֹֽר׃

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

Thou wilt prolong the king’s life: and his years as many generations.

יֵשֵׁ֣ב ע֭וֹלָם לִפְנֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים חֶ֥סֶד וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת מַ֣ן יִנְצְרֻֽהוּ׃

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

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

כֵּ֤ן אֲזַמְּרָ֣ה שִׁמְךָ֣ לָעַ֑ד לְֽשַׁלְּמִ֥י נְדָרַ֗י י֣וֹם ׀ יֽוֹם׃

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

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