Psalms 61

1 For the end, among the Hymns of David. O God, listen to my petition; attend to my prayer.

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

2 From the ends of the earth have I cried to you, when my heart was in trouble: you lifted me up on a rock you did guide me:

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

3 because you were my hope, a tower of strength from the face of the enemy.

כִּֽי־הָיִיתָ מַחְסֶה לִי מִגְדַּל־עֹז מִפְּנֵי אוֹיֵֽב׃

4 I will dwell in your tabernacle for ever; I will shelter myself under the shadow of your wings. (Pause)

אָגוּרָה בְאָהָלְךָ עוֹלָמִים אֶֽחֱסֶה בְסֵתֶר כְּנָפֶיךָ סֶּֽלָה׃

5 For you, o God, have heard my prayers; you have given an inheritance to them that fear your name.

כִּֽי־אַתָּה אֱלֹהִים שָׁמַעְתָּ לִנְדָרָי נָתַתָּ יְרֻשַּׁת יִרְאֵי שְׁמֶֽךָ׃

6 You shall add days to the days of the king; [you shall lengthen] his years to all generations.

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

7 He shall endure for ever before God: which of them will seek out his mercy and truth?

יֵשֵׁב עוֹלָם לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת מַן יִנְצְרֻֽהוּ׃

8 So will I sing to your name for ever and ever, that I may daily perform my vows.

כֵּן אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לָעַד לְֽשַׁלְּמִי נְדָרַי יוֹם ׀ יֽוֹם׃
