Psalms 30
1 A psalm of David. A psalm for the dedication of the Temple. I want to tell everyone how good you are, Lord, for you saved me, and you didn't let my enemies triumph over me.
Jusqu'à la Fin, psaume et cantique de David à l'occasion de la dédicace de la maison. Je t'exalterai, Seigneur; car tu m'as relevé, tu n'as point fait de moi la joie de mes ennemis.
2 Lord, my God, I called out to you for help, and you have healed me.
Seigneur mon Dieu, j'ai crié vers toi, et tu m'as guéri.
3 Lord, you rescued me from the grave, you brought me back to life, saving me from going down into the pit of death. (Sheol h7585)
Seigneur, tu as ramené mon âme de l'enfer; tu m'as sauvé d'entre ceux qui descendent dans le sépulcre. (Sheol h7585)
4 You who trust the Lord, sing praises to him, and be thankful for his holy character!
Chantez le Seigneur, vous ses saints; rendez-lui grâces au souvenir de sa sainteté.
5 For his anger only lasts a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime. You may spend the night in tears, but happiness comes with the morning.
Car la colère naît de son indignation, mais la vie est en sa volonté; le soir, il y aura des pleurs, et à l'aurore l'allégresse.
6 When things were going well, I said, “Nothing will ever shake me!”
Pour moi, j'ai dit en ma prospérité: Je serai à jamais inébranlable.
7 Lord, when you showed me your favor I stood as strong as a mountain; when you turned away from me I was terrified.
Seigneur, ta volonté sainte me maintenait en ma force et ma beauté; tu as détourné de moi ton visage, et j'ai été troublé.
8 I called out to you for help, Lord. I asked the Lord for grace, saying,
Je crierai vers toi, Seigneur; j'adresserai mes prières à mon Dieu.
9 What would you gain if I die, if I go down into the pit of death? Would my dust praise you? Would it tell of your trustworthiness?
De quelle utilité te serait mon sang, si je tombais en corruption? Ma cendre te rendrait-elle gloire? ferait-elle connaître ta vérité?
10 Please listen to me, Lord, and be gracious to me! Lord, you are the one who helps me.
Le Seigneur m'a entendu, et il a eu pitié de moi; le Seigneur est devenu mon champion.
11 You have turned my weeping into dancing. You have taken off my clothes of sackcloth and dressed me in happiness,
Tu as changé mes lamentations en joie; tu as déchiré mon cilice; tu m'as environné d'allégresse;
12 so I can sing praises to you and not keep quiet. Lord my God, I will thank you forever!
Afin que ma gloire chante tes louanges, et que la douleur ne me transperce plus. Seigneur mon Dieu, je te rendrai éternellement grâces.
