Zaburi 30
1 Nitakutukuza wewe, Yahwe, kwa kuwa umeniinua na haujawaruhusu maadui zangu juu yangu.
A psalm; a song at the dedication of the temple. A psalm of David. I will exalt you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up and have not allowed my enemies to rejoice over me.
2 Yahwe Mungu wangu, nilikulilia wewe kwa ajili ya msaada, nawe ukaniponya.
Yahweh my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me.
Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you have kept me alive from going down to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mwimbieni sifa Yahwe, ninyi waaminifu wake! Mshukuruni Bwana mkumbukapo utakatifu wake.
Sing praises to Yahweh, you his faithful people! Give thanks when you remember his holiness.
5 Kwa kuwa hasira yake ni ya muda tu; bali neema yake yadumu milele. Kilio huja usiku, bali furaha huja asubuhi.
For his anger is only for a moment; but his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping comes for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 Kwa ujasiri nilisema, “Sitatikiswa kamwe.”
In confidence I said, “I will never be shaken.”
7 Yahwe, kwa neema yako uliniweka mimi kama mlima imara; lakini ulipouficha uso wako, nilisumbuka.
Yahweh, by your favor you established me as a strong mountain; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8 Nilikulilia wewe, Yahwe, na kuomba msaada kwa Bwana wangu!
I cried to you, Yahweh, and sought favor from my Lord!
9 Kuna faida gani katika kifo changu, kama nitaenda kaburini? Je, mavumbi yatakusifu wewe? Yatatangaza uaminifu wako?
What advantage is there in my death, if I go down to the grave? Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your trustworthiness?
10 Sikia, Yahwe, na unihurumie! Yahwe, uwe msaidizi wangu.
Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me! Yahweh, be my helper.
11 Wewe umegeuza kuomboleza kwangu kuwa kucheza; wewe umeyaondoa mavazi yangu ya magunia na kunivisha furaha.
You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.
12 Hivyo sasa utukufu wangu utakuimbia sifa wewe na hautanyamaza; Yahwe Mungu wangu, nitakushukuru wewe milele!
So now my glory will sing praise to you and not be silent; Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
