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.
En salme, en sang ved husets innvielse, av David. Jeg vil ophøie dig, Herre, for du har dradd mig op og ikke latt mine fiender glede sig over mig.
2 Lord, my God, I called out to you for help, and you have healed me.
Herre min Gud! jeg ropte til dig, og du helbredet mig.
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)
Herre! du har ført min sjel op av dødsriket, du har kalt mig til live fra dem som farer ned i graven. (Sheol h7585)
4 You who trust the Lord, sing praises to him, and be thankful for his holy character!
Lovsyng Herren, I hans fromme, og pris hans hellige navn!
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.
For et øieblikk varer hans vrede, en levetid hans nåde; om aftenen kommer gråt som gjest, og om morgenen er det frydesang.
6 When things were going well, I said, “Nothing will ever shake me!”
Men jeg sa i min trygghet: Jeg skal ikke rokkes evindelig.
7 Lord, when you showed me your favor I stood as strong as a mountain; when you turned away from me I was terrified.
Herre! ved din nåde hadde du grunnfestet mitt fjell; du skjulte ditt åsyn, da blev jeg forferdet.
8 I called out to you for help, Lord. I asked the Lord for grace, saying,
Til dig, Herre, ropte jeg, og til Herren bad jeg ydmykelig:
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?
Hvad vinning er der i mitt blod, i at jeg farer ned i graven? Mon støvet vil prise dig, vil det forkynne din trofasthet?
10 Please listen to me, Lord, and be gracious to me! Lord, you are the one who helps me.
Hør, Herre, og vær mig nådig! Herre, vær min hjelper!
11 You have turned my weeping into dancing. You have taken off my clothes of sackcloth and dressed me in happiness,
Du omskiftet min klage til dans for mig, du løste mine sørgeklær av mig og omgjordet mig med glede,
12 so I can sing praises to you and not keep quiet. Lord my God, I will thank you forever!
forat min ære skal lovsynge dig og ikke tie. Herre min Gud! jeg vil prise dig evindelig.
