< Psalmi 30 >
1 Psalam. Pjesma za posvećenje Doma. Davidov. Veličam te, Jahve, jer si me izbavio i nisi dao da se raduju nada mnom dušmani.
A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House; of David. I will extol thee, O LORD, for Thou hast raised me up, and hast not suffered mine enemies to rejoice over me.
2 Jahve, Bože moj, zazvah te, i ti si me ozdravio;
O LORD my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou didst heal me;
3 Jahve, izveo si mi dušu iz Podzemlja, na rubu groba ti si me oživio. (Sheol )
O LORD, Thou broughtest up my soul from the nether-world; Thou didst keep me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol )
4 Pjevajte Jahvi, vjernici njegovi, zahvaljujte svetom imenu njegovu!
Sing praise unto the LORD, O ye His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name.
5 Jer samo za tren traje srdžba njegova, a čitav život dobrota njegova. Večer donese suze, a jutro klicanje.
For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for a life-time; weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6 U svojoj sreći rekoh: “Neću se pokolebati nikada!”
Now I had said in my security: 'I shall never be moved.'
7 Dobrotom si me, o Jahve, na goru nade postavio, ali čim lice sakriješ, sav se uplašim.
Thou hadst established, O LORD, in Thy favour my mountain as a stronghold — Thou didst hide Thy face; I was affrighted.
8 Tada, Jahve, zavapih k tebi i zazvah milosrđe Boga svojega:
Unto Thee, O LORD, did I call, and unto the LORD I made supplication:
9 “Kakva je korist od krvi moje, kakva korist da u grob siđem? Zar će te prašina slaviti, zar će naviještati vjernost tvoju?”
'What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? shall it declare Thy truth?
10 Slušaj, o Jahve, i smiluj se meni; Jahve, budi mi na pomoć!
Hear, O LORD, and be gracious unto me; LORD, be Thou my helper.'
11 Okrenuo si moj plač u igranje, skinuo kostrijet s mene i opasao me radošću.
Thou didst turn for me my mourning into dancing; Thou didst loose my sackcloth, and gird me with gladness;
12 Zato ti pjeva duša moja i neće zamuknuti: Jahve, Bože moj, dovijeka ću te hvaliti!
So that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent; O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever.
