Psalms 30

mizmor shir-khanukkat habbayit ledavid

A psalm of David. A song for the dedication of the House.

aromimkha Adonai ki dillitani velo-simmakhta oyevay li

I extol You, O ETERNAL One, for You have lifted me up, and not let my enemies rejoice over me.

Adonai elohay shivvati elekha vattirpa'eni

O my ETERNAL God, I cried out to You, and You healed me.

Adonai he'elita min-she'ol nafshi khiyyitani (myvrdy) [miyyordi-]vor

O ETERNAL One, You brought me up from Sheol, preserved me from going down into the Pit.

zammeru la-Adonai khasidayw vehodu lezekher qodsho

O you faithful of GOD, sing out, and praise that holy name.

ki rega be'appo khayyim birtsono ba'erev yalin bekhi velabboqer rinnah

For [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.

va'ani amarti veshalvi bal-emmot le'olam

When I was untroubled, I thought, “I shall never be shaken,”

Adonai birtsonekha he'emadtah leharri-oz histarta fanekha hayiti nivhal

for You, O ETERNAL One, when You were pleased, made [me] firm as a mighty mountain. When You hid Your face, I was terrified.

elekha Adonai eqra ve'el-adonay etkhannan

I called to You, O ETERNAL One; to my Sovereign I made appeal,

mah-bbetsa bedami beridti el-shakhat hayodekha afar hayaggid amittekha

“What is to be gained from my death, from my descent into the Pit? Can dust praise You? Can it declare Your faithfulness?

shema-Adonai vekhonneni Adonai heyeh-ozer li

Hear, O ETERNAL One, and have mercy on me; O ETERNAL One, be my help!”

hafakhta mispedi lemakhol li pittakhta saqqi vatte'azzereni simkhah

You turned my lament into dancing, you undid my sackcloth and girded me with joy,

lema'an yezammerkha khavod velo yiddom Adonai elohay le'olam odekka

that [my] whole being might sing hymns to You endlessly; O my ETERNAL God, I will praise You forever.
