Psalms 30

1 [A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.] I will extol you, Jehovah, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

(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;

2 Jehovah my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.

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

3 Jehovah, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

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

4 Sing praise to Jehovah, you his faithful ones. Give thanks to his holy name.

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

5 For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

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

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."

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

7 You, Jehovah, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

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

8 I cried to you, Jehovah. To Jehovah I made petition:

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

9 "What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

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

10 Hear, Jehovah, and have mercy on me. Jehovah, be my helper."

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

11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

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

12 To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will give thanks to you forever.

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