Psalms Chapter 30 תְּהִלִּים

א  מִזְמוֹר:  שִׁיר-חֲנֻכַּת הַבַּיִת לְדָוִד. 1 A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House; of David.
ב  אֲרוֹמִמְךָ יְהוָה, כִּי דִלִּיתָנִי;    וְלֹא-שִׂמַּחְתָּ אֹיְבַי לִי. 2 I will extol thee, O LORD, for Thou hast raised me up, and hast not suffered mine enemies to rejoice over me.
ג  יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי--    שִׁוַּעְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ, וַתִּרְפָּאֵנִי. 3 O LORD my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou didst heal me;
ד  יְהוָה–הֶעֱלִיתָ מִן-שְׁאוֹל נַפְשִׁי;    חִיִּיתַנִי, מיורדי- מִיָּרְדִי- בוֹר. 4 O LORD, Thou broughtest up my soul from the nether-world; Thou didst keep me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
ה  זַמְּרוּ לַיהוָה חֲסִידָיו;    וְהוֹדוּ, לְזֵכֶר קָדְשׁוֹ. 5 Sing praise unto the LORD, O ye His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name.
ו  כִּי רֶגַע, בְּאַפּוֹ--    חַיִּים בִּרְצוֹנוֹ:
בָּעֶרֶב, יָלִין בֶּכִי;    וְלַבֹּקֶר רִנָּה.
6 For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for a life-time; {N}
weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.
ז  וַאֲנִי, אָמַרְתִּי בְשַׁלְוִי--    בַּל-אֶמּוֹט לְעוֹלָם. 7 Now I had said in my security: ‘I shall never be moved.’
ח  יְהוָה--    בִּרְצוֹנְךָ, הֶעֱמַדְתָּה לְהַרְרִי-עֹז:
הִסְתַּרְתָּ פָנֶיךָ;    הָיִיתִי נִבְהָל.
8 Thou hadst established, O LORD, in Thy favour my mountain as a stronghold-- {N}
Thou didst hide Thy face; I was affrighted.
ט  אֵלֶיךָ יְהוָה אֶקְרָא;    וְאֶל-אֲדֹנָי, אֶתְחַנָּן. 9 Unto Thee, O LORD, did I call, and unto the LORD I made supplication:
י  מַה-בֶּצַע בְּדָמִי,    בְּרִדְתִּי אֶל-שָׁחַת:
הֲיוֹדְךָ עָפָר;    הֲיַגִּיד אֲמִתֶּךָ.
10 'What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? {N}
Shall the dust praise Thee? shall it declare Thy truth?
יא  שְׁמַע-יְהוָה וְחָנֵּנִי;    יְהוָה, הֱיֵה-עֹזֵר לִי. 11 Hear, O LORD, and be gracious unto me; LORD, be Thou my helper.’
יב  הָפַכְתָּ מִסְפְּדִי, לְמָחוֹל לִי:    פִּתַּחְתָּ שַׂקִּי; וַתְּאַזְּרֵנִי שִׂמְחָה. 12 Thou didst turn for me my mourning into dancing; Thou didst loose my sackcloth, and gird me with gladness;
יג  לְמַעַן, יְזַמֶּרְךָ כָבוֹד--    וְלֹא יִדֹּם:
יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי,    לְעוֹלָם אוֹדֶךָּ.
13 So that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent; {N}
O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever. {P}

Psalms Chapter 30 תְּהִלִּים

א  מִזְמוֹר:  שִׁיר-חֲנֻכַּת הַבַּיִת לְדָוִד. 1 A Psalm of David; a Song for the Dedication of the House
ב  אֲרוֹמִמְךָ יְהוָה, כִּי דִלִּיתָנִי;    וְלֹא-שִׂמַּחְתָּ אֹיְבַי לִי. 2 I will exalt You, O LORD, for You raised me up, and did not let my enemies rejoice over my misfortune.
ג  יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי--    שִׁוַּעְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ, וַתִּרְפָּאֵנִי. 3 O LORD my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me;
ד  יְהוָה–הֶעֱלִיתָ מִן-שְׁאוֹל נַפְשִׁי;    חִיִּיתַנִי, מיורדי- מִיָּרְדִי- בוֹר. 4 O LORD, You raised my soul from Sheol, the nether-world; You kept me alive, that I should not descend into the Pit.
ה  זַמְּרוּ לַיהוָה חֲסִידָיו;    וְהוֹדוּ, לְזֵכֶר קָדְשׁוֹ. 5 Sing unto the LORD, all ye faithful, remember His Holiness.
ו  כִּי רֶגַע, בְּאַפּוֹ--    חַיִּים בִּרְצוֹנוֹ:
בָּעֶרֶב, יָלִין בֶּכִי;    וְלַבֹּקֶר רִנָּה.
6 For His anger is but for a moment, His desire is for life; {N}
weeping may linger for the night but, in the morning, joyous shouts.
ז  וַאֲנִי, אָמַרְתִּי בְשַׁלְוִי--    בַּל-אֶמּוֹט לְעוֹלָם. 7 When I was balanced, l swore: ‘I shall never be moved.’
ח  יְהוָה--    בִּרְצוֹנְךָ, הֶעֱמַדְתָּה לְהַרְרִי-עֹז:
הִסְתַּרְתָּ פָנֶיךָ;    הָיִיתִי נִבְהָל.
8 According to Your desire, O Lord, You established my mountain as a stronghold.
When You hid Your face,
I was terrified.
ט  אֵלֶיךָ יְהוָה אֶקְרָא;    וְאֶל-אֲדֹנָי, אֶתְחַנָּן. 9 Unto You, O LORD, did I call, and to my LORD, I appealed:
י  מַה-בֶּצַע בְּדָמִי,    בְּרִדְתִּי אֶל-שָׁחַת:
הֲיוֹדְךָ עָפָר;    הֲיַגִּיד אֲמִתֶּךָ.
10 'What gain is there in spilling my blood, and I descend to the pit? 
Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?
יא  שְׁמַע-יְהוָה וְחָנֵּנִי;    יְהוָה, הֱיֵה-עֹזֵר לִי. 11 Hear, O LORD, and be gracious unto me; LORD, be Thou my help.’
יב  הָפַכְתָּ מִסְפְּדִי, לְמָחוֹל לִי:    פִּתַּחְתָּ שַׂקִּי; וַתְּאַזְּרֵנִי שִׂמְחָה. 12 You turned my mourning into dancing; You opened my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
יג  לְמַעַן, יְזַמֶּרְךָ כָבוֹד--    וְלֹא יִדֹּם:
יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי,    לְעוֹלָם אוֹדֶךָּ.
13 So that I may sing to honour You, and not be silent; {N}
O LORD my God, I thank You endlessly.
