1 {To the chief Musician. On a stringed instrument. [A Psalm] of David.} Hear, O God, my cry; attend unto my prayer.

1 לַמְנַצֵּ֬חַ׀ עַֽל־נְגִינַ֬ת לְדָוִֽד׃

2 From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my eart is overwhelmed: thou wilt lead me on to a rock which is too high for me.

2 שִׁמְעָ֣ה אֱ֭לֹהִים רִנָּתִ֑י הַ֝קְשִׁ֗יבָה תְּפִלָּתִֽי׃

3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, a strong tower from before the enemy.

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

4 I will sojourn in thy tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of thy wings. Selah.

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

5 For thou, O God, hast heard my vows; thou hast given [me] the inheritance of those that fear thy name.

5 אָג֣וּרָה בְ֭אָהָלְךָ עֹולָמִ֑ים אֶֽחֱסֶ֨ה בְסֵ֖תֶר כְּנָפֶ֣יךָ סֶּֽלָה׃

6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: his years shall be as many generations.

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

7 He shall abide before God for ever: bestow loving-kindness and truth, that they may preserve him.

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

8 So will I sing forth thy name for ever, performing my vows from day to day.

8 יֵשֵׁ֣ב עֹ֭ולָם לִפְנֵ֣י אֱלֹהִ֑ים חֶ֥סֶד וֶ֝אֱמֶ֗ת מַ֣ן יִנְצְרֻֽהוּ׃
