| א לַמְנַצֵּחַ עַל-נְגִינַת לְדָוִד. | 
1 For the Leader; with string-music. [A Psalm] of David. | 
| ב שִׁמְעָה אֱלֹהִים, רִנָּתִי; הַקְשִׁיבָה, תְּפִלָּתִי. | 
2 Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. | 
| 
 
ג  מִקְצֵה הָאָרֶץ, אֵלֶיךָ אֶקְרָא--    בַּעֲטֹף לִבִּי; בְּצוּר-יָרוּם מִמֶּנִּי תַנְחֵנִי.  | 
3 From the end of the earth will I call unto Thee, when my heart fainteth; {N} lead me to a rock that is too high for me.  | 
| ד כִּי-הָיִיתָ מַחְסֶה לִי; מִגְדַּל-עֹז, מִפְּנֵי אוֹיֵב. | 
4 For Thou hast been a refuge for me, a tower of strength in the face of the enemy. | 
| ה אָגוּרָה בְאָהָלְךָ, עוֹלָמִים; אֶחֱסֶה בְסֵתֶר כְּנָפֶיךָ סֶּלָה. | 
5 I will dwell in Thy Tent for ever; I will take refuge in the covert of Thy wings. Selah | 
| ו כִּי-אַתָּה אֱלֹהִים, שָׁמַעְתָּ לִנְדָרָי; נָתַתָּ יְרֻשַּׁת, יִרְאֵי שְׁמֶךָ. | 
6 For Thou, O God, hast heard my vows; Thou hast granted the heritage of those that fear Thy name. | 
| ז יָמִים עַל-יְמֵי-מֶלֶךְ תּוֹסִיף; שְׁנוֹתָיו, כְּמוֹ-דֹר וָדֹר. | 
7 Mayest Thou add days unto the king's days! May his years be as many generations! | 
| ח יֵשֵׁב עוֹלָם, לִפְנֵי אֱלֹהִים; חֶסֶד וֶאֱמֶת, מַן יִנְצְרֻהוּ. | 
8 May he be enthroned before God for ever! Appoint mercy and truth, that they may preserve him. | 
| ט כֵּן אֲזַמְּרָה שִׁמְךָ לָעַד-- לְשַׁלְּמִי נְדָרַי, יוֹם יוֹם. | 9 So will I sing praise unto Thy name for ever, that I may daily perform my vows. {P} |
