Psalm 61 - World English Bible with Hebrew

1 Hear my cry, God. Listen to my prayer.

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ׀ עַֽל־נְגִינַ֬ת לְדָוִֽד׃

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

2 שִׁמְעָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים רִנָּתִ֑י הַ֝קְשִׁ֗יבָה תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃

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

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

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

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

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

5 אָג֣וּרָה בְ֭אָהָלְךָ עֹולָמִ֑ים אֶֽחֱסֶ֨ה בְסֵ֖תֶר כְּנָפֶ֣יךָ סֶּֽלָה׃

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

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

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

7 יָמִ֣ים עַל־יְמֵי־מֶ֣לֶךְ תֹּוסִ֑יף נֹותָ֗יו כְּמֹו־דֹ֥ר וָדֹֽר׃

8 So I will sing praise to your name forever, That I may fulfill my vows daily.

8 יֵשֵׁ֣ב עֹ֭ולָם לִפְנֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים חֶ֥סֶד וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת מַ֣ן יִנְצְרֻֽהוּ׃
