מִזְמוֹר שִׁיר חֲנֻכַּת הַבַּיִת לְדָוִד:
A psalm; a song of dedication of the House, of David.
אֲרוֹמִמְךָ יְהוָה כִּי דִלִּיתָנִי וְלֹא שִׂמַּחְתָּ אֹיְבַי לִי:
I will exalt You, O Lord, for You have raised me up, and You have not allowed my enemies to rejoice over me.
יְהוָה אֱלֹהָי שִׁוַּעְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵנִי:
O Lord, I have cried out to You, and You have healed me.
יְהוָה הֶעֱלִיתָ מִן שְׁאוֹל נַפְשִׁי חִיִּיתַנִי (מיורדי) מִיָּרְדִי בוֹר:
O Lord, You have brought my soul from the grave; You have revived me from my descent into the Pit.
זַמְּרוּ לַיהוָה חֲסִידָיו וְהוֹדוּ לְזֵכֶר קָדְשׁוֹ:
Sing to the Lord, His pious ones, and give thanks to His holy name.
כִּי רֶגַע בְּאַפּוֹ חַיִּים בִּרְצוֹנוֹ בָּעֶרֶב יָלִין בֶּכִי וְלַבֹּקֶר רִנָּה:
For His wrath lasts but a moment; life results from His favor; in the evening, weeping may tarry, but in the morning there is joyful singing.
וַאֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי בְשַׁלְוִי בַּל אֶמּוֹט לְעוֹלָם:
And I said in my tranquility, "I will never falter."
יְהוָה בִּרְצוֹנְךָ הֶעֱמַדְתָּה לְהַרְרִי עֹז הִסְתַּרְתָּ פָנֶיךָ הָיִיתִי נִבְהָל:
O Lord, with Your will, You set up my mountain to be might, You hid Your countenance and I became frightened.
אֵלֶיךָ יְהוָה אֶקְרָא וְאֶל אֲדֹנָי אֶתְחַנָּן:
To You, O Lord, I would call, and to the Lord I would supplicate.
מַה בֶּצַע בְּדָמִי בְּרִדְתִּי אֶל שָׁחַת הֲיוֹדְךָ עָפָר הֲיַגִּיד אֲמִתֶּךָ:
"What gain is there in my blood, in my descent to the grave? Will dust thank You; will it recite Your truth?
שְׁמַע יְהוָה וְחָנֵּנִי יְהוָה הֱיֵה עֹזֵר לִי:
Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me; O Lord, be my helper."
הָפַכְתָּ מִסְפְּדִי לְמָחוֹל לִי פִּתַּחְתָּ שַׂקִּי וַתְּאַזְּרֵנִי שִׂמְחָה:
You have turned my lament into dancing for me; You loosened my sackcloth and girded me with joy.
לְמַעַן יְזַמֶּרְךָ כָבוֹד וְלֹא יִדֹּם יְהוָה אֱלֹהַי לְעוֹלָם אוֹדֶךָּ:
So that my soul will sing praises to You and not be silent. O Lord, my God, I will thank You forever.
