Psalms 30
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Hebrew Old Testament (Masoretic Text)
1(30-1) A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House; of David. (30-2) I will extol thee, O LORD, for Thou hast raised me up, and hast not suffered mine enemies to rejoice over me.
1מִזְמֹ֡ור שִׁיר־חֲנֻכַּ֖ת הַבַּ֣יִת לְדָוִֽד׃
2(30-3) O LORD my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou didst heal me;
2אֲרֹומִמְךָ֣ יְ֭הוָה כִּ֣י דִלִּיתָ֑נִי וְלֹא־שִׂמַּ֖חְתָּ אֹיְבַ֣י לִֽי׃
3(30-4) O LORD, Thou broughtest up my soul from the nether-world; Thou didst keep me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
3יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָ֑י שִׁוַּ֥עְתִּי אֵ֝לֶ֗יךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵֽנִי׃
4(30-5) Sing praise unto the LORD, O ye His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name.
4יְֽהוָ֗ה הֶֽעֱלִ֣יתָ מִן־שְׁאֹ֣ול נַפְשִׁ֑י חִ֝יִּיתַ֗נִי *מִיֹּורְדֵי־ (מִיָּֽרְדִי)־בֹֽור׃
5(30-6) For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for a life-time; weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.
5זַמְּר֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה חֲסִידָ֑יו וְ֝הֹוד֗וּ לְזֵ֣כֶר קָדְשֹֽׁו׃
6(30-7) Now I had said in my security: 'I shall never be moved.'
6כִּ֤י רֶ֨גַע ׀ בְּאַפֹּו֮ חַיִּ֪ים בִּרְצֹ֫ונֹ֥ו בָּ֭עֶרֶב יָלִ֥ין בֶּ֗כִי וְלַבֹּ֥קֶר רִנָּֽה׃
7(30-8) Thou hadst established, O LORD, in Thy favour my mountain as a stronghold — Thou didst hide Thy face; I was affrighted.
7וַ֭אֲנִי אָמַ֣רְתִּי בְשַׁלְוִ֑י בַּל־אֶמֹּ֥וט לְעֹולָֽם׃
8(30-9) Unto Thee, O LORD, did I call, and unto the LORD I made supplication:
8יְֽהוָ֗ה בִּרְצֹונְךָ֮ הֶעֱמַ֪דְתָּה לְֽהַרְרִ֫י עֹ֥ז הִסְתַּ֥רְתָּ פָנֶ֗יךָ הָיִ֥יתִי נִבְהָֽל׃
9(30-10) 'What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? shall it declare Thy truth?
9אֵלֶ֣יךָ יְהוָ֣ה אֶקְרָ֑א וְאֶל־אֲ֝דֹנָ֗י אֶתְחַנָּֽן׃
10(30-11) Hear, O LORD, and be gracious unto me; LORD, be Thou my helper.'
10מַה־בֶּ֥צַע בְּדָמִי֮ בְּרִדְתִּ֪י אֶ֫ל־שָׁ֥חַת הֲיֹודְךָ֥ עָפָ֑ר הֲיַגִּ֥יד אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃
11(30-12) Thou didst turn for me my mourning into dancing; Thou didst loose my sackcloth, and gird me with gladness;
11שְׁמַע־יְהוָ֥ה וְחָנֵּ֑נִי יְ֝הוָה הֱֽיֵה־עֹזֵ֥ר לִֽי׃
12(30-13) So that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent; O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever.
12הָפַ֣כְתָּ מִסְפְּדִי֮ לְמָחֹ֪ול לִ֥י פִּתַּ֥חְתָּ שַׂקִּ֑י וַֽתְּאַזְּרֵ֥נִי שִׂמְחָֽה׃
