Psalmorum 30
1 Psalmus Cantici, in finem, 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 eius: et confitemini memoriae sanctitatis eius.
Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones. Give thanks to his holy name.
5 Quoniam ira in indignatione eius: et vita in voluntate eius. Ad vesperum demorabitur fletus: et ad matutinum laetitia.
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 aeternum.
As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
7 Domine in voluntate tua, praestitisti 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 Quae utilitas in sanguine meo, dum descendo in corruptionem? Numquid confitebitur tibi pulvis, aut annunciabit 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 adiutor 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 laetitia:
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 aeternum 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.
