Psalms 30
|
A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. [A Psalm] of David. I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. | A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David.I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me. |
O Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. | O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well. |
O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. | O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead. |
Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his, And give thanks to his holy memorial [name]. | Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name. |
For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy [cometh] in the morning. | For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning. |
As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved. | When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved. |
Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled. | Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled. |
I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah I made supplication: | My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord. |
What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? | What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help? |
Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper. | Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper. |
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; | By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy; |
To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever. | So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever. |
