כִּ֤י רֶ֨גַע ׀ בְּאַפּוֹ֮ חַיִּ֪ים בִּרְצ֫וֹנ֥וֹ בָּ֭עֶרֶב יָלִ֥ין בֶּ֗כִי וְלַבֹּ֥קֶר רִנָּֽה׃
Sapagkat sandali lamang ang Kanyang galit, ngunit buhay ang dulot ng Kanyang paglingap; sa gabi ay namamalagi ang pagtangis, ngunit sa umaga ay may awit ng kagalakan.
Siddur Ashkenaz
Psalm 30, once used to inaugurate the Holy Temple, is used today to inaugurate our daily prayers, for the synagogue is a “Holy Temple in miniature” and our prayers take the place of the sacrifices. It is both a prayer for success and a declaration of thanksgiving.
