Psalms 61

1 [For the Chief Musician. For a stringed instrument. By David.] Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

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

2 From the most remote place of the earth, I will call to you, when my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

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

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

٣ لأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ لِي مَلْجَأً وَبُرْجاً مَنِيعاً يَحْمِينِي مِنَ الْعَدُوِّ.

4 I will dwell in your tent forever. I will take refuge in the shelter of your wings. (Selah)

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

5 For you, God, have heard my vows. You have given me the heritage of those who fear your name.

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

6 You will prolong the king's life; his years shall be for generations.

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

7 He shall be enthroned in God's presence forever. Appoint your loving kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, that I may fulfill my vows day after day.

٨ وَهَكَذَا أُرَنِّمُ لاِسْمِكَ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، وَأُوْفِي نُذُورِي دَائِماً.
