מִזְמוֹר שִׁיר־חֲנֻכַּת הַבַּֽיִת לְדָוִד׃ אֲרוֹמִמְךָ יהוה כִּי דִלִּיתָֽנִי, וְלֹא־שִׂמַּֽחְתָּ אֹיְבַי לִי׃ יהוה אֱלֹהָי, שִׁוַּֽעְתִּי אֵלֶֽיךָ וַתִּרְפָּאֵֽנִי׃ יהוה, הֶעֱלִֽיתָ מִן־שְׁאוֹל נַפְשִׁי, חִיִּיתַֽנִי מִיָּרְדִי־בוֹר׃ זַמְּרוּ לַיהוה חֲסִידָיו, וְהוֹדוּ לְזֵֽכֶר קָדְשׁוֹ׃ כִּי רֶֽגַע בְּאַפּוֹ, חַיִּים בִּרְצוֹנוֹ, בָּעֶֽרֶב יָלִין בֶּֽכִי וְלַבֹּֽקֶר רִנָּה׃ וַאֲנִי אָמַֽרְתִּי בְשַׁלְוִי, בַּל־אֶמּוֹט לְעוֹלָם׃ יהוה, בִּרְצוֹנְךָ הֶעֱמַֽדְתָּה לְהַרְרִי עֹז, הִסְתַּֽרְתָּ פָנֶֽיךָ הָיִֽיתִי נִבְהָל׃ אֵלֶֽיךָ יהוה אֶקְרָא, וְאֶל־אֲדֹנָי אֶתְחַנָּן׃ מַה־בֶּֽצַע בְּדָמִי, בְּרִדְתִּי אֶל שָֽׁחַת, הֲיוֹדְךָ עָפָר, הֲיַגִּיד אֲמִתֶּֽךָ׃ שְׁמַע־יהוה וְחָנֵּֽנִי, יהוה הֱיֵה־עֹזֵר לִי׃ הָפַֽכְתָּ מִסְפְּדִי לְמָחוֹל לִי, פִּתַּֽחְתָּ שַׂקִּי, וַתְּאַזְּרֵֽנִי שִׂמְחָה׃ לְמַֽעַן יְזַמֶּרְךָ כָבוֹד וְלֹא יִדֹּם, יהוה אֱלֹהַי, לְעוֹלָם אוֹדֶֽךָּ׃

מִזְמוֹר A psalm of David. A song for the dedication of the House. I will exalt You, LORD, for You have lifted me up, and not let my enemies rejoice over me. LORD, my God, I cried to You for help and You healed me. LORD, You lifted my soul from the grave; You spared me from going down to the pit. Sing to the LORD, you His devoted ones, and give thanks to His holy name. For His anger is for a moment, but His favor for a lifetime. At night there may be weeping, but in the morning there is joy. When I felt secure, I said, “I shall never be shaken.” LORD, when You favored me, You made me stand firm as a mountain, but when You hid Your face, I was terrified. To You, LORD, I called; I pleaded with my LORD: “What gain would there be if I died and went down to the grave? Can dust thank You? Can it declare Your truth? Hear, LORD, and be gracious to me; LORD, be my help.” You have turned my sorrow into dancing. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, so that my soul may sing to You and not be silent. LORD my God, for ever will I thank You.

מִזְמוֹר לְדָוִד, יהוה מִי־יָגוּר בְּאָהֳלֶֽךָ, מִי־יִשְׁכֹּן בְּהַר קָדְשֶֽׁךָ׃ הוֹלֵךְ תָּמִים וּפֹעֵל צֶֽדֶק, וְדֹבֵר אֱמֶת בִּלְבָבוֹ׃ לֹא־רָגַל עַל־לְשֹׁנוֹ, לֹא־עָשָׂה לְרֵעֵֽהוּ רָעָה, וְחֶרְפָּה לֹא־נָשָׂא עַל־קְרֹבוֹ׃ נִבְזֶה בְּעֵינָיו נִמְאָס, וְאֶת־יִרְאֵי יהוה יְכַבֵּד, נִשְׁבַּע לְהָרַע וְלֹא יָמִר׃ כַּסְפּוֹ לֹא־נָתַן בְּנֶֽשֶׁךְ, וְשֹֽׁחַד עַל־נָקִי לֹא־לָקָח, עֹֽשֵׂה אֵֽלֶּה, לֹא יִמּוֹט לְעוֹלָם׃

**English Edition; Koren Publishers Jerusalem, 2017:**
מִזְמוֹר A Psalm of David. LORD, who may dwell in Your tent? Who may live on Your holy mountain? One who walks in integrity, does what is right, and speaks the truth from his heart; who has no malice on his tongue, does no wrong to his fellow, nor casts a slur on his neighbor; who scorns those who are vile, but honors those who fear the LORD; who keeps his oath even when it hurts; who does not demand interest on his loans and never takes a bribe against the innocent. One who does these things will never be shaken.

רִבּוֹן הָעוֹלָם Master of the Universe, look down from Your holy dwelling place, and in compassion and favor accept the prayer and plea of Your children, who are gathered here to consecrate this house, and to offer You their thanksgiving for all the kindness and truth You have shown them. Please do let not Your kindness depart, nor Your covenant of Your peace be removed from them. Shield this their home so that no evil befalls it. May illness and sadness never come near it, nor the sound of sorrow be heard within its walls. May the members of this household live together in this home in fellowship and friendship. May they love and revere You, hold fast to You, meditating in Your Torah, and living faithfully by its commandments.

הָרֵק בִּרְכוֹתֶֽיךָ עַל בַּֽעַל הַבַּֽיִת. בָּרֵךְ יהוה חֵילוֹ, וּפֹֽעַל יָדָיו תִּרְצֶה׃ הַרְחִיקֵֽהוּ מִידֵי עֲבֵרָה וְעָוֹן, וִיהִי נָעֳמְךָ עָלָיו, וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדָיו כּוֹנְנֵֽהוּ. יְהִי נָא חַסְדְּךָ אֶת אִשְׁתּוֹ, צוֹפִיָּה הֲלִיכוֹת בֵּיתָהּ: וְתֵדַע כִּי, אִשָּׁה יִרְאַת־יהוה הִיא תִתְהַלָּל׃ (הוֹפַע עַל בְּנֵיהֶם וּבְנוֹתֵיהֶם רֽוּחַ חָכְמָה וּבִינָה, הַדְרִיכֵם בִּנְתִיב מִצְוֹתֶֽיךָ, וְכָל־רוֹאֵיהֶם יַכִּירוּם כִּי הֵם זֶֽרַע בֵּרַךְ יהוה, בְּרוּכִים בַּתּוֹרָה וּבְיִרְאַת שָׁמַֽיִם.) שָׁמְרֵם מִכָּל רָע, שְׁמֹר אֶת נַפְשָׁם, וִיקֻיַּם בָּהֶם: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה בְּבֹאֶֽךָ, וּבָרוּךְ אַתָּה בְּצֵאתֶֽךָ: וְכַאֲשֶׁר זָכִֽינוּ לַחֲנֹךְ אֶת הַבַּֽיִת הַזֶּה עַתָּה, כֵּן נִזְכֶּה גַם יַֽחַד לִרְאוֹת חֲנֻכַּת הַבַּֽיִת הַגָּדוֹל וְהַקָּדוֹשׁ בִּירוּשָׁלַֽיִם עִירְךָ, קִרְיַת מוֹעֲדֵֽינוּ, בִּמְהֵרָה בְיָמֵֽינוּ, אָמֵן.

**English Edition; Koren Publishers Jerusalem, 2017:**
הָרֵק Bestow Your blessings on the owner of this house. LORD bless his resources and find favor in the work of his hands. Keep him far from sin and transgression. May Your tender love be upon him, and establish the work of our hands. May Your kindness be with his wife, she who watches over the affairs of her household, knowing that it is the God-fearing woman who deserves praise. (Bestow on their sons and daughters a spirit of wisdom and understanding. Lead them in the path of Your commandments, so that all who see them recognise that they are children blessed by the LORD, knowing Your Torah and revering You.) Protect them from all evil; protect their lives. May this [Your promise] be fulfilled in them: “You will be blessed when you come in, and blessed when you go out.” And as we have been able to consecrate the house, so together may we witness the consecration of the great and holy Temple in Jerusalem Your city, city of our sacred assemblies, swiftly in our days. Amen.
