Psalms 30

1 For the end, a Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will exalt you, O Lord; for you have lifted me up, and not caused mine enemies 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 Lord my God, I cried to you, and you did heal me.

耶和華－我的上帝啊， 我曾呼求你，你醫治了我。

3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Hades, you have delivered me from [amongst] them that 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 to the Lord, you his saints, and give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness.

耶和華的聖民哪，你們要歌頌他， 稱讚他可記念的聖名。

5 For anger is in his wrath, but life in his favour: weeping shall wait for the evening, but joy shall be 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 And 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 O Lord, in your good pleasure you did add strength to my beauty: but you did turn away your face, and 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 To you, O Lord, will I cry; and to my God will I make 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 destruction? Shall the dust give praise to you? or shall it declare your 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 The Lord heard, and had compassion upon me; the Lord is become my helper.

耶和華啊，求你應允我，憐恤我！ 耶和華啊，求你幫助我！

11 You have turned my mourning into joy for me: you have tore off 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 that my glory may sing praise to you, and I may not be pierced [with sorrow]. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you 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！
