< 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 dedication of the temple. A psalm of David. I will exalt you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up and have not allowed my enemies to rejoice over me.
2 HERRE min Gud, jeg råbte til dig, og du helbredte mig.
Yahweh my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me.
3 Fra Dødsriget, HERRE, drog du min Sjæl, kaldte mig til Live af Gravens Dyb. (Sheol )
Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you have kept me alive from going down to the grave. (Sheol )
4 Lovsyng HERREN, I hans fromme, pris hans hellige Navn!
Sing praises to Yahweh, you his faithful people! Give thanks when you remember his holiness.
5 Thi et Øjeblik varer hans Vrede, Livet igennem hans Nåde; om Aftenen gæster os Gråd, om Morgenen Frydesang.
For his anger is only for a moment; but his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping comes for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 Jeg tænkte i min Tryghed: "Jeg rokkes aldrig i Evighed!"
In confidence I said, “I will never be shaken.”
7 HERRE, i Nåde havde du fæstnet mit Bjerg; du skjulte dit Åsyn, jeg blev forfærdet.
Yahweh, by your favor you established me as a strong mountain; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8 Jeg råbte, HERRE, til dig, og tryglende bad jeg til HERREN:
I cried to you, Yahweh, and sought favor from my Lord!
9 "Hvad Vinding har du af mit Blod, af at jeg synker i Graven? Kan Støv mon takke dig, råbe din Trofasthed ud?
What advantage is there in my death, if I go down to the grave? Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your trustworthiness?
10 HERRE, hør og vær nådig, HERRE, kom mig til Hjælp!"
Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me! Yahweh, be my helper.
11 Du vendte min Sorg til Dans, løste min Sørgedragt, hylled mig i Glæde,
You have turned my mourning into dancing; 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!
So now my glory will sing praise to you and not be silent; Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
