< Psalms 30 >

1 A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House; of David. I will extol thee, O LORD, for Thou hast raised me up, and hast not suffered mine enemies to rejoice over me.
Psalmus Cantici, in finem, in dedicatione domus David. Exaltabo te Domine quoniam suscepisti me: nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou didst heal me;
Domine Deus meus clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.
3 O LORD, Thou broughtest up my soul from the nether-world; Thou didst keep me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
Domine eduxisti ab inferno animam meam: salvasti me a descendentibus in lacum. (Sheol h7585)
4 Sing praise unto the LORD, O ye His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name.
Psallite Domino sancti eius: et confitemini memoriae sanctitatis eius.
5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for a life-time; weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Quoniam ira in indignatione eius: et vita in voluntate eius. Ad vesperum demorabitur fletus: et ad matutinum laetitia.
6 Now I had said in my security: 'I shall never be moved.'
Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea: Non movebor in aeternum.
7 Thou hadst established, O LORD, in Thy favour my mountain as a stronghold — Thou didst hide Thy face; I was affrighted.
Domine in voluntate tua, praestitisti decori meo virtutem. Avertisti faciem tuam a me, et factus sum conturbatus.
8 Unto Thee, O LORD, did I call, and unto the LORD I made supplication:
Ad te Domine clamabo: et ad Deum meum deprecabor.
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?
Quae utilitas in sanguine meo, dum descendo in corruptionem? Numquid confitebitur tibi pulvis, aut annunciabit veritatem tuam?
10 Hear, O LORD, and be gracious unto me; LORD, be Thou my helper.'
Audivit Dominus, et misertus est mei: Dominus factus est adiutor meus.
11 Thou didst turn for me my mourning into dancing; Thou didst loose my sackcloth, and gird me with gladness;
Convertisti planctum meum in gaudium mihi: conscidisti saccum meum, et circumdedisti me laetitia:
12 So that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent; O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever.
Ut cantet tibi gloria mea: et non compungar: Domine Deus meus in aeternum confitebor tibi.
