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.
