מִמַּעֲמַקִּים קְרָאתִיךָ ה׳
אדוני שִׁמְעָה בְקוֹלִי

Hashem, listen to my voice

אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי אֶל־הֶהָרִים
מֵאַיִן יָבֹא עֶזְרִי
עֶזְרִי מֵעִם יהוה

I turn my eyes to the mountains
from where will my help come?
My help comes from Hashem

בָּעֶרֶב יָלִין בֶּכִי
וְלַבֹּקֶר רִנָּה׃
אֵלֶיךָ ה׳ אֶקְרָא
אָמַרְתִּי בְשַׁלְוִי בַּל־אֶמּוֹט לְעוֹלָם׃
הִסְתַּרְתָּ פָנֶיךָ הָיִיתִי נִבְהָל׃
אֵלֶיךָ ה׳ אֶקְרָא
הָפַכְתָּ מִסְפְּדִי לְמָחוֹל לִי
פִּתַּחְתָּ שַׂקִּי וַתְּאַזְּרֵנִי שִׂמְחָה׃
לְמַעַן יְזַמֶּרְךָ כָבוֹד וְלֹא יִדֹּם
ה׳ אֱלֹקַי לְעוֹלָם אוֹדֶךָּ׃
אֵלֶיךָ ה׳ אֶקְרָא
Nightfall, lie down weeping
but by morning — joy
To You, Hashem, I call!
When things were stable, I said, “I shall never be shaken”
But when You hid Your face, I was terrified
To You, Hashem, I call!
You turned my lament into dancing
you undid my sackcloth and clothed me with happiness
that I might sing to You and not be silent.
Hashem my God, I will praise You forever
To You, Hashem, I call!
