< 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. A song for the dedication of the Temple. I will extol you, O Lord, because you have lifted me up, and not suffered my foes to rejoice over me.
2 Jahve, Bože moj, zazvah te, i ti si me ozdravio;
I cried to you for help, O Lord my God, and you healed me.
3 Jahve, izveo si mi dušu iz Podzemlja, na rubu groba ti si me oživio. (Sheol )
You have brought me up, Lord, from Sheol, from my way to the pit back to life you have called me. (Sheol )
4 Pjevajte Jahvi, vjernici njegovi, zahvaljujte svetom imenu njegovu!
Sing praise to the Lord, faithful people; 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 lasts only a moment, his favour endures for a lifetime. Weeping may lodge for the night, but the morning brings shouts of joy.
6 U svojoj sreći rekoh: “Neću se pokolebati nikada!”
When all went well, I imagined that never should I be shaken.
7 Dobrotom si me, o Jahve, na goru nade postavio, ali čim lice sakriješ, sav se uplašim.
For by your favour, O Lord, you had set me on mountains strong: but you hide your face, and I was confounded.
8 Tada, Jahve, zavapih k tebi i zazvah milosrđe Boga svojega:
Then to you, Lord, I cried, to the Lord I begged for mercy,
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, if I go down to the pit? Can you be praised by dust? Can it tell of your faithfulness?
10 Slušaj, o Jahve, i smiluj se meni; Jahve, budi mi na pomoć!
Hear, Lord, and show me your favour, Lord be a helper to me.’
11 Okrenuo si moj plač u igranje, skinuo kostrijet s mene i opasao me radošću.
You have turned my mourning to dancing; my sackcloth you have unloosed, and clothed me with joy:
12 Zato ti pjeva duša moja i neće zamuknuti: Jahve, Bože moj, dovijeka ću te hvaliti!
that unceasingly I should sing your praise, and give thanks to you, Lord my God, forever.
