Psalms 30

1 A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. [A Psalm] of David. I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

大衛在獻殿的時候，作這詩歌。 耶和華啊，我要尊崇你， 因為你曾提拔我，不叫仇敵向我誇耀。

2 O Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

耶和華－我的上帝啊， 我曾呼求你，你醫治了我。

3 O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

耶和華啊，你曾把我的靈魂從陰間救上來， 使我存活，不至於下坑。 (Sheol h7585)

4 Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his, And give thanks to his holy memorial [name].

耶和華的聖民哪，你們要歌頌他， 稱讚他可記念的聖名。

5 For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy [cometh] in the morning.

因為，他的怒氣不過是轉眼之間； 他的恩典乃是一生之久。 一宿雖然有哭泣， 早晨便必歡呼。

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

至於我，我凡事平順，便說： 我永不動搖。

7 Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

耶和華啊，你曾施恩，叫我的江山穩固； 你掩了面，我就驚惶。

8 I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah I made supplication:

耶和華啊，我曾求告你； 我向耶和華懇求，說：

9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

我被害流血，下到坑中，有甚麼益處呢？ 塵土豈能稱讚你，傳說你的誠實嗎？

10 Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper.

耶和華啊，求你應允我，憐恤我！ 耶和華啊，求你幫助我！

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

你已將我的哀哭變為跳舞， 將我的麻衣脫去，給我披上喜樂，

12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

好叫我的靈歌頌你，並不住聲。 耶和華－我的上帝啊，我要稱謝你，直到永遠！
