Salme 30

1 (En salme. En sang ved husets indvielse. Af David.) HERRE, jeg ophøjer dig, thi du bjærgede mig, lod ej mine Fjender glæde sig over mig;

A Canticle Psalm. In dedication to the house of David. I will extol you, Lord, for you have sustained me, and you have not allowed my enemies to delight over me.

2 HERRE min Gud, jeg råbte til dig, og du helbredte mig.

O Lord my God, I have cried out to you, and you have healed me.

3 Fra Dødsriget, HERRE, drog du min Sjæl, kaldte mig til Live af Gravens Dyb. (Sheol h7585)

Lord, you led my soul away from Hell. You have saved me from those who descend into the pit. (Sheol h7585)

4 Lovsyng HERREN, I hans fromme, pris hans hellige Navn!

Sing a psalm to the Lord, you his saints, and confess with remembrance of his holiness.

5 Thi et Øjeblik varer hans Vrede, Livet igennem hans Nåde; om Aftenen gæster os Gråd, om Morgenen Frydesang.

For wrath is in his indignation, and life is in his will. Toward evening, weeping will linger, and toward morning, gladness.

6 Jeg tænkte i min Tryghed: "Jeg rokkes aldrig i Evighed!"

But I have said in my abundance: “I will never be disturbed.”

7 HERRE, i Nåde havde du fæstnet mit Bjerg; du skjulte dit Åsyn, jeg blev forfærdet.

O Lord, in your will, you made virtue preferable to beauty for me. You turned your face away from me, and I became disturbed.

8 Jeg råbte, HERRE, til dig, og tryglende bad jeg til HERREN:

To you, Lord, I will cry out. And I will make supplication to my God.

9 "Hvad Vinding har du af mit Blod, af at jeg synker i Graven? Kan Støv mon takke dig, råbe din Trofasthed ud?

What use would there be in my blood, if I descend into corruption? Will dust confess to you or announce your truth?

10 HERRE, hør og vær nådig, HERRE, kom mig til Hjælp!"

The Lord has heard, and he has been merciful to me. The Lord has become my helper.

11 Du vendte min Sorg til Dans, løste min Sørgedragt, hylled mig i Glæde,

You have turned my mourning into gladness for me. You have cut off my sackcloth, and you have surrounded me with joy.

12 at min Ære skal prise dig uden Ophør. HERRE min Gud, jeg vil takke dig evigt!

So then, may my glory sing to you, and may I not regret it. O Lord, my God, I will confess to you for eternity.
