< 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 of David. To the air of songs for the dedication of a house.” I will extol thee, O LORD! for thou hast lifted me up, And hast not suffered my enemies to rejoice over me.
2 Jahve, Bože moj, zazvah te, i ti si me ozdravio;
O Jehovah, my God! I called upon thee, and thou hast healed me!
3 Jahve, izveo si mi dušu iz Podzemlja, na rubu groba ti si me oživio. (Sheol )
O LORD! thou hast raised me up from the underworld; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol )
4 Pjevajte Jahvi, vjernici njegovi, zahvaljujte svetom imenu njegovu!
Sing unto the LORD, O ye his servants! And praise 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 endureth but a moment, But his favor through life; In the evening sorrow may be a guest, But joy cometh in the morning.
6 U svojoj sreći rekoh: “Neću se pokolebati nikada!”
I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved!”
7 Dobrotom si me, o Jahve, na goru nade postavio, ali čim lice sakriješ, sav se uplašim.
Thou, O LORD! by thy favor, hast made my mountain to stand strong; Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled!
8 Tada, Jahve, zavapih k tebi i zazvah milosrđe Boga svojega:
I cried unto thee, O LORD! To 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 will my blood profit thee, that I should go down to the pit? Can dust praise thee? Can it declare thy faithfulness?
10 Slušaj, o Jahve, i smiluj se meni; Jahve, budi mi na pomoć!
Hear, O LORD! and have pity upon me! Be thou, LORD! my helper!”
11 Okrenuo si moj plač u igranje, skinuo kostrijet s mene i opasao me radošću.
Thou didst turn 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!
Therefore I will sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah, my God! I will give thanks to thee for ever!
