Psalms 61

1 To the chief music-maker. On a corded instrument. Of David. Let my cry come to you, O God; let your ears be open to my prayer.

١ لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَوْتَارِ». لِدَاوُدَ اِسْمَعْ يَا ٱللهُ صُرَاخِي، وَٱصْغَ إِلَى صَلَاتِي.

2 From the end of the earth will I send up my cry to you, when my heart is overcome: take me to the rock which is over-high for me.

٢ مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَدْعُوكَ إِذَا غُشِيَ عَلَى قَلْبِي. إِلَى صَخْرَةٍ أَرْفَعَ مِنِّي تَهْدِينِي.

3 For you have been my secret place, and my high tower from those who made war on me.

٣ لِأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ مَلْجَأً لِي، بُرْجَ قُوَّةٍ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ.

4 I will make your tent my resting-place for ever: I will keep myself under the cover of your wings. (Selah)

٤ لَأَسْكُنَنَّ فِي مَسْكَنِكَ إِلَى ٱلدُّهُورِ. أَحْتَمِي بِسِتْرِ جَنَاحَيْكَ. سِلَاهْ.

5 For you, O God, have made answer to my prayers; you have given me the heritage of those who give honour to your name.

٥ لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا ٱللهُ ٱسْتَمَعْتَ نُذُورِي. أَعْطَيْتَ مِيرَاثَ خَائِفِي ٱسْمِكَ.

6 You will give the king long life; and make his years go on through the generations.

٦ إِلَى أَيَّامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ تُضِيفُ أَيَّامًا. سِنِينُهُ كَدَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.

7 May the seat of his authority be before God for ever; may mercy and righteousness keep him safe.

٧ يَجْلِسُ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. ٱجْعَلْ رَحْمَةً وَحَقًّا يَحْفَظَانِهِ.

8 So will I make songs in praise of your name for ever, giving to God that which is right day by day.

٨ هَكَذَا أُرَنِّمُ لِٱسْمِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِوَفَاءِ نُذُورِي يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا.
