Salme 30
1 En Salme. En Sang ved Husets Indvielse. Af David. HERRE, jeg ophøjer dig, thi du bjærgede mig, lod ej mine Fjender glæde sig over mig;
A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David. I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.
2 HERRE min Gud, jeg raabte til dig, og du helbredte mig.
O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.
O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead. (Sheol h7585)
4 Lovsyng HERREN, I hans fromme, pris hans hellige Navn!
Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.
5 Thi et Øjeblik varer hans Vrede, Livet igennem hans Naade; om Aftenen gæster os Graad, om Morgenen Frydesang.
For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 Jeg tænkte i min Tryghed: »Jeg rokkes aldrig i Evighed!«
When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.
7 HERRE, i Naade havde du fæstnet mit Bjerg; du skjulte dit Aasyn, jeg blev forfærdet.
Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.
8 Jeg raabte, HERRE, til dig, og tryglende bad jeg til HERREN:
My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.
9 »Hvad Vinding har du af mit Blod, af at jeg synker i Graven? Kan Støv mon takke dig, raabe din Trofasthed ud?
What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?
10 HERRE, hør og vær naadig, HERRE, kom mig til Hjælp!«
Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.
11 Du vendte min Sorg til Dans, løste min Sørgedragt, hylled mig i Glæde,
By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;
12 at min Ære skal prise dig uden Ophør. HERRE min Gud, jeg vil takke dig evigt!
So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.
