Chapter 30
1מִזְמוֹר שִׁיר־חֲנֻכַּת הַבַּיִת לְדָוִֽדA psalm of David. A song for the dedication of the House.
2אֲרוֹמִמְךָ יְהֹוָה כִּי דִלִּיתָנִי וְלֹֽא־שִׂמַּחְתָּ אֹיְבַי לִֽיI extol You, O ETERNAL One, for You have lifted me up, and not let my enemies rejoice over me.
3יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהָי שִׁוַּעְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵֽנִיO my ETERNAL God, I cried out to You, and You healed me.
4יְֽהֹוָה הֶעֱלִיתָ מִן־שְׁאוֹל נַפְשִׁי חִיִּיתַנִי (מיורדי) [מִיׇּֽרְדִי־]בֽוֹרO ETERNAL One, You brought me up from Sheol, preserved me from going down into the Pit.
5זַמְּרוּ לַיהֹוָה חֲסִידָיו וְהוֹדוּ לְזֵכֶר קׇדְשֽׁוֹO you faithful of GOD, sing out, and praise that holy name.
6כִּי רֶגַע בְּאַפּוֹ חַיִּים בִּרְצוֹנוֹ בָּעֶרֶב יָלִין בֶּכִי וְלַבֹּקֶר רִנָּֽהFor [God] is angry but a moment, and when pleased, there is life. One may lie down weeping at nightfall; but at dawn there are shouts of joy.
7וַאֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְשַׁלְוִי בַּל־אֶמּוֹט לְעוֹלָֽםWhen I was untroubled, I thought, “I shall never be shaken,”
8יְֽהֹוָה בִּרְצוֹנְךָ הֶעֱמַדְתָּה לְֽהַרְרִי־עֹז הִסְתַּרְתָּ פָנֶיךָ הָיִיתִי נִבְהָֽלfor You, O ETERNAL One, when You were pleased, made [me] firm as a mighty mountain. When You hid Your face, I was terrified.
9אֵלֶיךָ יְהֹוָה אֶקְרָא וְאֶל־אֲדֹנָי אֶתְחַנָּֽןI called to You, O ETERNAL One; to my Sovereign I made appeal,
10מַה־בֶּצַע בְּדָמִי בְּרִדְתִּי אֶל־שָׁחַת הֲיוֹדְךָ עָפָר הֲיַגִּיד אֲמִתֶּֽךָ“What is to be gained from my death, from my descent into the Pit? Can dust praise You? Can it declare Your faithfulness?
11שְׁמַע־יְהֹוָה וְחׇנֵּנִי יְהֹוָה הֱֽיֵה־עֹזֵר לִֽיHear, O ETERNAL One, and have mercy on me; O ETERNAL One, be my help!”
12הָפַכְתָּ מִסְפְּדִי לְמָחוֹל לִי פִּתַּחְתָּ שַׂקִּי וַֽתְּאַזְּרֵנִי שִׂמְחָֽהYou turned my lament into dancing, you undid my sackcloth and girded me with joy,
13לְמַעַן יְזַמֶּרְךָ כָבוֹד וְלֹא יִדֹּם יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהַי לְעוֹלָם אוֹדֶֽךָּthat [my] whole being might sing hymns to You endlessly; O my ETERNAL God, I will praise You forever.
