Psalmorum 30
1 Psalmus cantici, in dedicatione domus David. [Exaltabo te, Domine, quoniam suscepisti me, nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.
[A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.] I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 Domine Deus meus, clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.
LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Psallite Domino, sancti ejus; et confitemini memoriæ sanctitatis ejus.
Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones. Give thanks to his holy name.
5 Quoniam ira in indignatione ejus, et vita in voluntate ejus: ad vesperum demorabitur fletus, et ad matutinum lætitia.
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.
6 Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea: Non movebor in æternum.
As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
7 Domine, in voluntate tua præstitisti decori meo virtutem; avertisti faciem tuam a me, et factus sum conturbatus.
You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8 Ad te, Domine, clamabo, et ad Deum meum deprecabor.
I cried to you, LORD. To the LORD I made petition:
9 Quæ utilitas in sanguine meo, dum descendo in corruptionem? numquid confitebitur tibi pulvis, aut annuntiabit veritatem tuam?
"What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10 Audivit Dominus, et misertus est mei; Dominus factus est adjutor meus.
Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper."
11 Convertisti planctum meum in gaudium mihi; conscidisti saccum meum, et circumdedisti me lætitia:
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12 ut cantet tibi gloria mea, et non compungar. Domine Deus meus, in æternum confitebor tibi.]
To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
