1לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַֽל־נְגִינַת לְדָוִֽדFor the leader; with instrumental music. Of David.
2שִׁמְעָה אֱלֹהִים רִנָּתִי הַקְשִׁיבָה תְּפִלָּתִֽיHear my cry, O God, heed my prayer.
3מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ אֵלֶיךָ אֶקְרָא בַּעֲטֹף לִבִּי בְּצוּר־יָרוּם מִמֶּנִּי תַנְחֵֽנִיFrom the end of the earth I call to You; when my heart is faint, You lead me to a rock that is high above me.
4כִּֽי־הָיִיתָ מַחְסֶה לִי מִגְדַּל־עֹז מִפְּנֵי אוֹיֵֽבFor You have been my refuge, a tower of strength against the enemy.
5אָגוּרָה בְאׇהׇלְךָ עוֹלָמִים אֶחֱסֶה בְסֵתֶר כְּנָפֶיךָ סֶּֽלָהO that I might dwell in Your tent forever, take refuge under Your protecting wings. Selah.
6כִּֽי־אַתָּה אֱלֹהִים שָׁמַעְתָּ לִנְדָרָי נָתַתָּ יְרֻשַּׁת יִרְאֵי שְׁמֶֽךָO God, You have heard my vows; grant the request of those who fear Your name.
7יָמִים עַל־יְמֵי־מֶלֶךְ תּוֹסִיף שְׁנוֹתָיו כְּמוֹ־דֹר וָדֹֽרAdd days to the days of the king; may his years extend through generations;
8יֵשֵׁב עוֹלָם לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת מַן יִנְצְרֻֽהוּmay he dwell in God’s presence forever; appoint steadfast love to guard him.
9כֵּן אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לָעַד לְֽשַׁלְּמִי נְדָרַי יוֹם יֽוֹםSo I will sing hymns to Your name forever, as I fulfill my vows day after day.
