Psalms 61

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

לַמְנַצֵּחַ ׀ עַֽל־נְגִינַת לְדָוִֽד׃ שִׁמְעָה אֱלֹהִים רִנָּתִי הַקְשִׁיבָה 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.

מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ ׀ אֵלֶיךָ אֶקְרָא בַּעֲטֹף לִבִּי בְּצוּר־יָרוּם מִמֶּנִּי תַנְחֵֽנִי׃

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

כִּֽי־הָיִיתָ מַחְסֶה לִי מִגְדַּל־עֹז מִפְּנֵי אוֹיֵֽב׃

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

אָגוּרָה בְאָהָלְךָ עוֹלָמִים אֶֽחֱסֶה בְסֵתֶר כְּנָפֶיךָ סֶּֽלָה׃

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

כִּֽי־אַתָּה אֱלֹהִים שָׁמַעְתָּ לִנְדָרָי נָתַתָּ יְרֻשַּׁת יִרְאֵי שְׁמֶֽךָ׃

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

יָמִים עַל־יְמֵי־מֶלֶךְ תּוֹסִיף שְׁנוֹתָיו כְּמוֹ־דֹר וָדֹֽר׃

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

יֵשֵׁב עוֹלָם לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת מַן יִנְצְרֻֽהוּ׃

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

כֵּן אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לָעַד לְֽשַׁלְּמִי נְדָרַי יוֹם ׀ יֽוֹם׃
