المَزامِير 61

١ 1 لِقَائِدِ الْمُنْشِدِينَ عَلَى الآلاتِ الْوَتَرِيَّةِ. مَزْمُورٌ لِدَاوُدَ اسْتَمِعْ يَا اللهُ إِلَى صُرَاخِي وَأَصْغِ إِلَى صَلاتِي.

For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm of David. God, please hear my cry for help; please listen to my prayer.

٢ 2 مِنْ أَقْصَى الأَرْضِ أَدْعُوكَ إِذَا غُشِيَ عَلَى قَلْبِي، فَتَهْدِينِي إِلَى صَخْرَةٍ عَالِيَةٍ يَتَعَذَّرُ ارْتِقَاؤُهَا.

From this distant place, far from home, I cry out to you as my courage fails. Take me to a rock high above me where I will be safe,

٣ 3 لأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ لِي مَلْجَأً وَبُرْجاً مَنِيعاً يَحْمِينِي مِنَ الْعَدُوِّ.

for you are my protection, a strong tower where my enemies cannot attack me.

٤ 4 لِذَا أَسْكُنُ فِي خَيْمَتِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأَعْتَصِمُ بِسِتْرِ جَنَاحَيْكَ،

Let me live with you forever; protect me under the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

٥ 5 لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا اللهُ قَدِ اسْتَمَعْتَ إِلَى نُذُورِي. أَعْطَيْتَنِي مِيرَاثاً كَمِيرَاثِ الَّذِينَ يَتَّقُونَ اسْمَكَ.

For you, God, have heard the promises I've made. You have given all those who love your character your special blessing.

٦ 6 تُضِيفُ أَيَّاماً إِلَى عُمْرِ الْمَلِكِ، فَتَكُونُ سِنُو حَيَاتِهِ كَأَجْيَالٍ عَدِيدَةٍ.

Please give the king many extra years; may his reign last through generations.

٧ 7 يَبْقَى عَلَى عَرْشِهِ أَمَامَ اللهِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ. وَاجْعَلِ الرَّحْمَةَ وَالْحَقَّ يَحْفَظَانِهِ.

May he always live in your presence; may your trustworthy love and faithfulness protect him.

٨ 8 وَهَكَذَا أُرَنِّمُ لاِسْمِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأُوْفِي نُذُورِي دَائِماً.

Then I will always sing praises to you, and every day I will keep my promises to you.
