Psalms 30

1 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.

【病後感恩歌】 聖殿祝聖的詩歌，達味作。 上主，我稱揚你，因為你救拔了我，你也沒有使我的仇敵向我自誇。

2 O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.

上主，我一向你呼號，我主，你便醫治了我。

3 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)

上主，你由陰府中把我救出，又使我安全復生，免降幽谷。 (Sheol h7585)

4 Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.

上主的聖民，請向上主歌頌，稱謝上主的聖名。

5 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.

因為上主的忿怒，瞬息消散；上主的恩愛卻要終生綿延。晚間雖令人哭涕，清晨卻使人歡喜。

6 When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.

我曾自誇說過，我永不會動搖。

7 Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.

上主，你恩待我，使我立足於穩固山岡；但是你一掩面，我便立刻感到失措驚惶。

8 My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.

上主，我曾向你呼號，我曾向我主哀求說：

9 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?

我如果降入陰府，我的血於你何益？灰土豈能讚美你，或宣揚你的忠義？

10 Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.

上主，請俯聽我，憐憫我；上主，求你前來助佑我。

11 By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;

你把我的哀痛，給我變成了舞蹈，脫去了我的苦衣給我披上喜樂；

12 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.

為此，我的心靈歌頌你，永不止息；上主，我的天主，我要永遠稱謝你！
