Psalms 61

1 Hear my cry, O God. Attend to my prayer.

לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ ׀ עַֽל־נְגִינַ֬ת לְדָוִֽד׃ שִׁמְעָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים רִנָּתִ֑י הַ֝קְשִׁ֗יבָה תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃

2 From the end of the earth I will call to thee when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

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

כִּֽי־הָיִ֣יתָ מַחְסֶ֣ה לִ֑י מִגְדַּל־עֹ֝֗ז מִפְּנֵ֥י אֹויֵֽב׃

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

אָג֣וּרָה בְ֭אָהָלְךָ עֹולָמִ֑ים אֶֽחֱסֶ֨ה בְסֵ֖תֶר כְּנָפֶ֣יךָ סֶּֽלָה׃

5 For thou, O God, have heard my vows. Thou have given me the heritage of those who fear thy name.

כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים שָׁמַ֣עְתָּ לִנְדָרָ֑י נָתַ֥תָּ יְ֝רֻשַּׁ֗ת יִרְאֵ֥י שְׁמֶֽךָ׃

6 Thou will prolong the king's life. His years shall be as many generations.

יָמִ֣ים עַל־יְמֵי־מֶ֣לֶךְ תֹּוסִ֑יף שְׁ֝נֹותָ֗יו כְּמֹו־דֹ֥ר וָדֹֽר׃

7 He shall abide before God forever. O prepare loving kindness and truth that they may preserve him.

יֵשֵׁ֣ב עֹ֭ולָם לִפְנֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים חֶ֥סֶד וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת מַ֣ן יִנְצְרֻֽהוּ׃

8 So I will sing praise to thy name forever, that I may daily perform my vows.

כֵּ֤ן אֲזַמְּרָ֣ה שִׁמְךָ֣ לָעַ֑ד לְֽשַׁלְּמִ֥י נְדָרַ֗י יֹ֣ום ׀ יֹֽום׃
