Tehillim - Psalms - Chapter 61


Chapter 61

1. For the conductor, on neginath, of David.   א.
2. Hearken, O God, to my request, listen to my prayer.   ב.
3. From the end of the earth I call out to You when my heart becomes faint; on the rock that is higher than I, You lead me.   ג.
From the end of the earth: although I am far from my men whom I send against my enemies in battle.   :
I call out to You when my heart becomes faint: because of them. Now, about what do I call out to You? That You lead me on a rock, which is higher and stronger than I.   :
4. For You were a shelter for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy.   ד.
5. I shall dwell in Your tent to eternity; I will take shelter in the covert of Your wings forever.   ה.
I shall dwell in Your tent to eternity: Grant me the privilege in this world and in the world to come.   :
6. For You, God, have hearkened to my vows; You have given the heritage of those who fear Your name.   ו.
You have given the heritage of those who fear Your name: You have restored the cities of their heritage through me.   :
7. Add days to the days of the king, his years as every generation.   ז.
Add days to the days of the king: If it has been decreed upon me to die young, add days to my days until my years will equal seventy years, as the years of every generation.   :
8. May he dwell forever before God; kindness and truth should be prepared to guard him.   ח.
May he dwell: [May] the king dwell forever before God.   :
kindness and truth: with which he engages himself will be prepared to guard him.   :
should be prepared: Heb. מן. Preparation, as (Jonah 4:6): “And the Lord… appointed (וימן) a kikayon.”   :
9. So will I sing praises to Your name forever, when I pay my vows every day.   ט.
So will I sing praises: Just as You will benefit me, so will I sing praises to Your name by paying my vows every day.   :
