TEHILLIM 61

1 (For the one directing. With stringed instruments. Of Dovid)

2 Hear my cry, Elohim;

attend unto my tefillah.

3 From the end of ha’aretz will I call unto Thee,

when my lev is overwhelmed;

lead me to the Tzur

that is higher than I.

4 For Thou hast been a refuge for me,

and a migdal oz (tower of strength) from the enemy.

5 I will abide in Thy ohel forever;

I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings.

Selah

6 For Thou, Elohim, hast heard my nederim;

Thou hast given me the yerushat yirei Shemecha

(inheritance of those that fear Thy Name).

7 Thou wilt prolong days of the Melech,

and his shanot dor vador.

8 He shall abide before Elohim forever;

O appoint chesed and emes, to preserve him.

9 So will I sing praise unto Shimecha forever,

that I may yom yom (daily) perform my nederim.
