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.
En psalm, en sång av David, vid templets invigning. Jag vill upphöja dig, HERRE, ty du har dragit mig ur djupet, du har icke låtit mina fiender glädja sig över mig.
2 Yahweh, my God, I called out for you to help [me when I was ill], and you healed me.
HERRE, min Gud, jag ropade till dig, och du helade mig.
3 You saved/restored me when I was dying [MTY]. I was nearly dead, but you caused me to get well again. (Sheol h7585)
HERRE, du förde min själ upp ur dödsriket, du tog mig levande ut från dem som foro ned i graven. (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!
Lovsjungen HERREN, I hans fromme, och prisen hans heliga namn.
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.
Ty ett ögonblick varar hans vrede, men hela livet hans nåd; om aftonen gästar gråt, men om morgonen kommer jubel.
6 As for me, when I had no troubles, I said [to myself], “No one will defeat me!”
Jag sade, när det gick mig väl: »Jag skall aldrig vackla.»
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.
HERRE, i din nåd hade du gjort mitt berg starkt; men du fördolde ditt ansikte, då förskräcktes jag.
8 [Then] I called out to you, and I pleaded for you [to help me].
Till dig, HERRE, ropade jag, och till Herren bad jag:
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]!
»Vad vinning har du av mitt blod, eller därav att jag far ned i graven? Kan stoftet tacka dig, kan det förkunna din trofasthet?
10 Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”
Hör, o HERRE, och var mig nådig; HERRE, var min hjälpare.»
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.
Då förvandlade du min klagan i fröjdesprång; du klädde av mig sorgens dräkt och omgjordade mig med glädje.
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.
Därför skall min ära lovsjunga dig, utan att tystna; HERRE, min Gud, jag vill tacka dig evinnerligen.
