תְהִלִּים 61

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

For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. Of David. Hear my cry, O God; attend to my prayer.

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

From the ends of the earth I call out to You whenever my heart is faint. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

3 כִּֽי־הָיִ֣יתָ מַחְסֶ֣ה לִ֑י מִגְדַּל־עֹ֝֗ז מִפְּנֵ֥י אֹויֵֽב׃

For You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.

4 אָג֣וּרָה בְ֭אָהָלְךָ עֹולָמִ֑ים אֶֽחֱסֶ֨ה בְסֵ֖תֶר כְּנָפֶ֣יךָ סֶּֽלָה׃

Let me dwell in Your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.

5 כִּֽי־אַתָּ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים שָׁמַ֣עְתָּ לִנְדָרָ֑י נָתַ֥תָּ יְ֝רֻשַּׁ֗ת יִרְאֵ֥י שְׁמֶֽךָ׃

For You have heard my vows, O God; You have given me the inheritance reserved for those who fear Your name.

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

Increase the days of the king’s life; may his years span many generations.

7 יֵשֵׁ֣ב עֹ֭ולָם לִפְנֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים חֶ֥סֶד וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת מַ֣ן יִנְצְרֻֽהוּ׃

May he sit enthroned in God’s presence forever; appoint Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness to guard him.

8 כֵּ֤ן אֲזַמְּרָ֣ה שִׁמְךָ֣ לָעַ֑ד לְֽשַׁלְּמִ֥י נְדָרַ֗י יֹ֣ום ׀ יֹֽום׃

Then I will ever sing praise to Your name and fulfill my vows day by day.
