اَلْمَزَامِيرُ 61

١ 1 لِإِمَامِ ٱلْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى «ذَوَاتِ ٱلْأَوْتَارِ». لِدَاوُدَ اِسْمَعْ يَا ٱللهُ صُرَاخِي، وَٱصْغَ إِلَى صَلَاتِي.

God, listen to me, and answer my prayer [DOU]!

٢ 2 مِنْ أَقْصَى ٱلْأَرْضِ أَدْعُوكَ إِذَا غُشِيَ عَلَى قَلْبِي. إِلَى صَخْرَةٍ أَرْفَعَ مِنِّي تَهْدِينِي.

While I am discouraged and far from my home, I am calling out to you. Lead me to [the place that is like] a high rock [MET] on top of which I will be safe.

٣ 3 لِأَنَّكَ كُنْتَ مَلْجَأً لِي، بُرْجَ قُوَّةٍ مِنْ وَجْهِ ٱلْعَدُوِّ.

You have been my refuge; you have been [like] a strong tower [MET] [in which I am safe] from being attacked by my enemies.

٤ 4 لَأَسْكُنَنَّ فِي مَسْكَنِكَ إِلَى ٱلدُّهُورِ. أَحْتَمِي بِسِتْرِ جَنَاحَيْكَ. سِلَاهْ.

Allow me to live close to your temple all during my life [HYP]! Allow me to be safe [MET], [like a little bird is safe] under [its mother’s] wings.

٥ 5 لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ يَا ٱللهُ ٱسْتَمَعْتَ نُذُورِي. أَعْطَيْتَ مِيرَاثَ خَائِفِي ٱسْمِكَ.

God, you heard me when I solemnly promised [to give offerings to you]; you have given to me the blessings that belong to those who have an awesome respect for you [MTY].

٦ 6 إِلَى أَيَّامِ ٱلْمَلِكِ تُضِيفُ أَيَّامًا. سِنِينُهُ كَدَوْرٍ فَدَوْرٍ.

[I am] the king [of Israel]; [please] allow me to live [and rule] for many years, and allow my descendants to rule [also].

٧ 7 يَجْلِسُ قُدَّامَ ٱللهِ إِلَى ٱلدَّهْرِ. ٱجْعَلْ رَحْمَةً وَحَقًّا يَحْفَظَانِهِ.

Allow us to rule forever while you observe us; watch over us while you faithfully love us and do for us what you promised.

٨ 8 هَكَذَا أُرَنِّمُ لِٱسْمِكَ إِلَى ٱلْأَبَدِ، لِوَفَاءِ نُذُورِي يَوْمًا فَيَوْمًا.

If you do that, I will always sing to praise you [MTY] while I offer to you each day the sacrifices that I promised to give to you.
