| 1 A psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. |
| 2 ܐܪܡܪܡܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܕܐܪܝܡܬܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܚܕܝܬ ܒܝ ܠܒ̈ܥܠܕܒܒܝ | 2 I praise you, LORD, for you raised me up and did not let my enemies rejoice over me. |
| 3 ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܝ ܒܥܝܬ ܡܢܟ ܘܐܣܝܬܢܝ | 3 O LORD, my God, I cried out to you and you healed me. |
| 4 ܘܐܣܩܬ ܡܢ ܫܝܘܠ ܠܢܦܫܝ ܘܐܚܝܬܢܝ ܡܢ ܢܚ̈ܬܝ ܓܘܒܐ | 4 LORD, you brought me up from Sheol; you kept me from going down to the pit. |
| 5 ܙܡܪܘ ܠܡܪܝܐ ܓܒ̈ܘܗܝ ܘܐܘܕܘ ܠܕܘܟܪܢܐ ܕܩܘܕܫܗ | 5 Sing praise to the LORD, you faithful; give thanks to God's holy name. |
| 6 ܡܛܠ ܕܟܐܬܐ ܒܪܘܓܙܗ ܘܚ̈ܝܐ ܒܨܒܝܢܗ ܒܪܡܫܐ ܬܒܘܬ ܒܟܬܐ ܘܒܨܦܪܐ ܚܕܘܬܐ | 6 For divine anger lasts but a moment; divine favor lasts a lifetime. At dusk weeping comes for the night; but at dawn there is rejoicing. |
| 7 ܐܢܐ ܐܡܪܬ ܒܫܠܝܘܬܝ ܕܠܐ ܐܙܘܥ ܠܥܠܡ | 7 Complacent, I once said, "I shall never be shaken." |
| 8 ܐܠܗܐ ܒܨܒܝܢܟ ܐܩܝܡܬ ܥܠ ܫܘܒܚܝ ܚܝܠܐ ܘܐܗܦܟܬ ܐ̈ܦܝܟ ܘܙܥܬ | 8 LORD, when you showed me favor I stood like the mighty mountains. But when you hid your face I was struck with terror. |
| 9 ܘܩܪܝܬܟ ܡܪܝܐ ܘܡܢܟ ܡܪܝ ܒܥܝܬ | 9 To you, LORD, I cried out; with the Lord I pleaded for mercy: |
| 10 ܡܢܐ ܝܘܬܪܢܐ ܐܝܬ ܒܕܡܝ ܕܐܚܘܬ ܠܚܒܠܐ ܠܐ ܡܘܕܐ ܠܟ ܥܦܪܐ ܘܠܐ ܡܚܘܐ ܗܝܡܢܘܬܟ | 10 "What gain is there from my lifeblood, from my going down to the grave? Does dust give you thanks or declare your faithfulness? |
| 11 ܫܡܥ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܪܚܡ ܥܠܝ ܡܪܝܐ ܗܘܝ ܠܝ ܥܕܘܪܐ | 11 Hear, O LORD, have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper." |
| 12 ܕܐܗܦܟܬ ܡܪ̈ܩܕܬܝ ܠܚܕܘܬܐ ܫܪܝܬ ܣܩܝ ܘܐܟܒܢܬܢܝ ܚܕܘܬܐ | 12 You changed my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness. |
| 13 ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܐܙܡܪ ܠܟ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܫܬܘܩ ܡܪܝܐ ܐܠܗܝ ܠܥܠܡ ܐܘܕܐ ܠܟ | 13 With my whole being I sing endless praise to you. O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks. |
