Psalms 61

Superscription to the chief musician upon Neginah

לַמְנַצֵּחַ׀ עַֽל-נְגִינַת לְדָוִֽד׃

To the chief Musician upon Neginah, A Psalm of David.

שִׁמְעָה אֱלֹהִים רִנָּתִי הַקְשִׁיבָה תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃

Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer.

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

From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.

כִּֽי-הָיִיתָ מַחְסֶה לִי מִגְדַּל-עֹז מִפְּנֵי אוֹיֵֽב׃

For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

אָגוּרָה בְאָהָלְךָ עוֹלָמִים אֶֽחֱסֶה בְסֵתֶר כְּנָפֶיךָ סֶּֽלָה׃

I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

כִּֽי-אַתָּה אֱלֹהִים שָׁמַעְתָּ לִנְדָרָי נָתַתָּ יְרֻשַּׁת יִרְאֵי שְׁמֶֽךָ׃

For thou, O God, hast heard my vows: thou hast given me the heritage of those that fear thy name.

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

Thou wilt prolong the king's life: and his years as many generations.

יֵשֵׁב עוֹלָם לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת מַן יִנְצְרֻֽהוּ׃

He shall abide before God for ever: O prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him.

כֵּן אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לָעַד לְֽשַׁלְּמִי נְדָרַי יוֹם׀ יֽוֹם׃

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows.
