Salmi 30

1 Salmo di canto di Davide, sopra la dedicazione della [sua] casa SIGNORE, io ti esalterò; perciocchè tu mi hai tratto ad alto, E non hai rallegrati di me i miei nemici.

Yahweh, I praise you because you rescued me. You did not allow [me to die], [with the result that] my enemies could gloat/rejoice.

2 Signore Iddio mio, Io ho gridato a te, e tu mi hai sanato.

Yahweh, my God, I called out for you to help [me when I was ill], and you healed me.

3 Signore, tu hai fatta salir l'anima mia fuor del sepolcro; Tu mi hai salvata la vita, acciocchè io non iscendessi nella fossa. (Sheol h7585)

You saved/restored me when I was dying [MTY]. I was nearly dead, but you caused me to get well again. (Sheol h7585)

4 Salmeggite al Signore [voi] suoi santi; E celebrate la memoria della sua santità.

All you who belong to Yahweh, sing praise to him! Think about what [God], the holy one, has done, and thank him!

5 Perciocchè l'ira sua [dura] solo un momento; Ma la sua benevolenza [dura tutta] una vita; La sera appo noi alberga il pianto, Ma la mattina [vi è] giubilo.

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.

6 Quant'è a me, nella mia quiete, io diceva: Io non sarò giammai smosso.

As for me, when I had no troubles, I said [to myself], “No one will defeat me!”

7 Signore, tu avevi, per lo tuo favore, stanziata la fortezza nel mio monte; [Ma tosto che] tu hai nascosta la tua faccia, io sono stato smarrito.

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.

8 Io ho gridato a te, Signore, Ed ho supplicato al Signore,

[Then] I called out to you, and I pleaded for you [to help me].

9 [Dicendo: ] Che utilità [avrai] nel mio sangue, Se io scendo nella fossa? La polvere ti celebrerà ella? Predicherà ella la tua verità?

[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]!

10 Ascolta, Signore, ed abbi pietà di me; Signore, siimi in aiuto.

Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”

11 Tu hai mutato il mio duolo in festa; Tu hai sciolto il mio cilicio, e mi hai cinto di allegrezza;

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.

12 Acciocchè la [mia] gloria ti salmeggi, e non si taccia. Signore Iddio mio, io ti celebrerò in eterno.

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.
