< 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 for the Dedication of the Temple. By David. I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 HERRE min Gud, jeg raabte til dig, og du helbredte mig.
LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
3 Fra Dødsriget, HERRE, drog du min Sjæl, kaldte mig til Live af Gravens Dyb. (Sheol h7585)
LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Lovsyng HERREN, I hans fromme, pris hans hellige Navn!
Sing praise to the LORD, you holy ones of his. Give thanks 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 anger is but for a moment. His favour is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 Jeg tænkte i min Tryghed: »Jeg rokkes aldrig i Evighed!«
As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”
7 HERRE, i Naade havde du fæstnet mit Bjerg; du skjulte dit Aasyn, jeg blev forfærdet.
You, LORD, when you favoured me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8 Jeg raabte, HERRE, til dig, og tryglende bad jeg til HERREN:
I cried to you, LORD. I made supplication 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 destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10 HERRE, hør og vær naadig, HERRE, kom mig til Hjælp!«
Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper.”
11 Du vendte min Sorg til Dans, løste min Sørgedragt, hylled mig i Glæde,
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12 at min Ære skal prise dig uden Ophør. HERRE min Gud, jeg vil takke dig evigt!
to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
