1 <A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David.> I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.

1 מִזְמֹ֡ור שִׁיר־חֲנֻכַּ֖ת הַבַּ֣יִת לְדָוִֽד׃

2 O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.

2 אֲרֹומִמְךָ֣ יְ֭הוָה כִּ֣י דִלִּיתָ֑נִי וְלֹא־שִׂמַּ֖חְתָּ אֹיְבַ֣י לִֽי׃

3 O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead.

3 יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָ֑י שִׁוַּ֥עְתִּי אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵֽנִי׃

4 Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.

4 יְֽהוָ֗ה הֶֽעֱלִ֣יתָ מִן־שְׁאֹ֣ול נַפְשִׁ֑י חִ֝יִּיתַ֗נִי מִיֹּורְדֵי־ מִיָּֽרְדִי־בֹֽור׃

5 For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

5 זַמְּר֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה חֲסִידָ֑יו וְ֝הֹוד֗וּ לְזֵ֣כֶר קָדְשֹֽׁו׃

6 When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.

6 כִּ֤י רֶ֨גַע׀ בְּאַפֹּו֮ חַיִּ֪ים בִּרְצֹ֫ונֹ֥ו בָּ֭עֶרֶב יָלִ֥ין בֶּ֗כִי וְלַבֹּ֥קֶר רִנָּֽה׃

7 Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.

7 וַ֭אֲנִי אָמַ֣רְתִּי בְשַׁלְוִ֑י בַּל־אֶמֹּ֥וט לְעֹולָֽם׃

8 My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.

8 יְֽהוָ֗ה בִּרְצֹונְךָ֮ הֶעֱמַ֪דְתָּה לְֽהַרְרִ֫י עֹ֥ז הִסְתַּ֥רְתָּ פָנֶ֗יךָ הָיִ֥יתִי נִבְהָֽל׃

9 What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?

9 אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָ֑א וְאֶל־אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י אֶתְחַנָּֽן׃

10 Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.

10 מַה־בֶּ֥צַע בְּדָמִי֮ בְּרִדְתִּ֪י אֶ֫ל־שָׁ֥חַת הֲיֹודְךָ֥ עָפָ֑ר הֲיַגִּ֥יד אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃

11 By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;

11 שְׁמַע־יְהוָ֥ה וְחָנֵּ֑נִי יְ֝הוָה¹ הֱ‍ֽיֵה־עֹזֵ֥ר לִֽי׃

12 So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.

12 הָפַ֣כְתָּ מִסְפְּדִי֮ לְמָחֹ֪ול לִ֥י פִּתַּ֥חְתָּ שַׂקִּ֑י וַֽתְּאַזְּרֵ֥נִי שִׂמְחָֽה׃
