Psalms 30
1 Yahweh, I praise you because you rescued me. You did not allow [me to die], [with the result that] my enemies could gloat/rejoice.
Psalmus Cantici In dedicatione domus David. Exaltabo te Domine quoniam suscepisti me: nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.
2 Yahweh, my God, I called out for you to help [me when I was ill], and you healed me.
Domine Deus meus clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.
3 You saved/restored me when I was dying [MTY]. I was nearly dead, but you caused me to get well again. (Sheol h7585)
Domine eduxisti ab inferno animam meam: salvasti me a descendentibus in lacum. (Sheol h7585)
4 All you who belong to Yahweh, sing praise to him! Think about what [God], the holy one, has done, and thank him!
Psallite Domino sancti eius: et confitemini memoriæ sanctitatis eius.
5 When he becomes angry, he is angry for only a very short time [HYP], but he is good [to us] all of our life. We may cry during the night, but the next morning we will be joyful.
Quoniam ira in indignatione eius: et vita in voluntate eius. Ad vesperum demorabitur fletus: et ad matutinum lætitia.
6 As for me, when I had no troubles, I said [to myself], “No one will defeat me!”
Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea: Non movebor in æternum.
7 Yahweh, because you were good to me, at first you caused me to be safe [as though I was inside] [MET] a mountain. But then [I became ill, and I thought that] you had turned away from me, and I became afraid.
Domine in voluntate tua, præstitisti decori meo virtutem. Avertisti faciem tuam a me, et factus sum conturbatus.
8 [Then] I called out to you, and I pleaded for you [to help me].
Ad te Domine clamabo: et ad Deum meum deprecabor.
9 [I said], “Yahweh, (what will you gain if I die?/ you won’t gain anything if I die) [MTY]. (In what way will it benefit you?/it won’t benefit you at all) if I go to the place where the dead people are [RHQ]. Dead people are certainly not able to praise you [RHQ], and they are not able to tell others that you are trustworthy [RHQ]!
Quæ utilitas in sanguine meo, dum descendo in corruptionem? Numquid confitebitur tibi pulvis, aut annunciabit veritatem tuam?
10 Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”
Audivit Dominus, et misertus est mei: Dominus factus est adiutor meus.
11 But [now you have healed me], and you have caused me to change from being sad to dancing [joyfully]. You have taken away the clothes that showed that I was very sad and you have given me clothes that showed that I was [very] joyful.
Convertisti planctum meum in gaudium mihi: conscidisti saccum meum, et circumdedisti me lætitia:
12 So I will not be silent; I will sing out [loudly] to praise you. Yahweh, you are my God, and I will thank you forever.
Ut cantet tibi gloria mea: et non compungar: Domine Deus meus in æternum confitebor tibi.
