Psalms 61

1 Unto the end, in hymns, for David. Hear, O God, my supplication: be attentive to my prayer,

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

2 To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock. Thou hast conducted me;

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

3 For thou hast been my hope; a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.

כִּֽי־הָיִיתָ מַחְסֶה לִי מִגְדַּל־עֹז מִפְּנֵי אוֹיֵֽב׃

4 In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.

אָגוּרָה בְאָהָלְךָ עוֹלָמִים אֶֽחֱסֶה בְסֵתֶר כְּנָפֶיךָ סֶּֽלָה׃

5 For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.

כִּֽי־אַתָּה אֱלֹהִים שָׁמַעְתָּ לִנְדָרָי נָתַתָּ יְרֻשַּׁת יִרְאֵי שְׁמֶֽךָ׃

6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years even to generation and generation.

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

7 He abideth for ever in the sight of God: his mercy and truth who shall search?

יֵשֵׁב עוֹלָם לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת מַן יִנְצְרֻֽהוּ׃

8 So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: that I may pay my vows from day to day.

כֵּן אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לָעַד לְֽשַׁלְּמִי נְדָרַי יוֹם ׀ יֽוֹם׃
