1 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

1 מִזְמֹ֡ור שִׁיר־חֲנֻכַּ֖ת הַבַּ֣יִת לְדָוִֽד׃

2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

2 אֲרֹומִמְךָ֣ יְ֭הוָה כִּ֣י דִלִּיתָ֑נִי וְלֹא־שִׂמַּ֖חְתָּ אֹיְבַ֣י לִֽי׃

3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

3 יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָ֑י שִׁוַּ֥עְתִּי אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵֽנִי׃

4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

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

5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

5 זַמְּר֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה חֲסִידָ֑יו וְ֝הֹוד֗וּ לְזֵ֣כֶר קָדְשֹֽׁו׃

6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

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

7 LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

7 וַ֭אֲנִי אָמַ֣רְתִּי בְשַׁלְוִ֑י בַּל־אֶמֹּ֥וט לְעֹולָֽם׃

8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

8 יְֽהוָ֗ה בִּרְצֹונְךָ֮ הֶעֱמַ֪דְתָּה לְֽהַרְרִ֫י עֹ֥ז הִסְתַּ֥רְתָּ פָנֶ֗יךָ הָיִ֥יתִי נִבְהָֽל׃

9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

9 אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָ֑א וְאֶל־אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י אֶתְחַנָּֽן׃

10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.

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

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

11 שְׁמַע־יְהוָ֥ה וְחָנֵּ֑נִי יְ֝הוָה¹ הֱ‍ֽיֵה־עֹזֵ֥ר לִֽי׃

12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

12 הָפַ֣כְתָּ מִסְפְּדִי֮ לְמָחֹ֪ול לִ֥י פִּתַּ֥חְתָּ שַׂקִּ֑י וַֽתְּאַזְּרֵ֥נִי שִׂמְחָֽה׃
