Psalms 30

1 I WILL extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

Psalam. Pjesma za posvećenje Doma. Davidov. Veličam te, Jahve, jer si me izbavio i nisi dao da se raduju nada mnom dušmani.

2 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

Jahve, Bože moj, zazvah te, i ti si me ozdravio;

3 O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

Jahve, izveo si mi dušu iz Podzemlja, na rubu groba ti si me oživio. (Sheol h7585)

4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Pjevajte Jahvi, vjernici njegovi, zahvaljujte svetom imenu njegovu!

5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Jer samo za tren traje srdžba njegova, a čitav život dobrota njegova. Večer donese suze, a jutro klicanje.

6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

U svojoj sreći rekoh: “Neću se pokolebati nikada!”

7 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

Dobrotom si me, o Jahve, na goru nade postavio, ali čim lice sakriješ, sav se uplašim.

8 I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.

Tada, Jahve, zavapih k tebi i zazvah milosrđe Boga svojega:

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?

“Kakva je korist od krvi moje, kakva korist da u grob siđem? Zar će te prašina slaviti, zar će naviještati vjernost tvoju?”

10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.

Slušaj, o Jahve, i smiluj se meni; Jahve, budi mi na pomoć!

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

Okrenuo si moj plač u igranje, skinuo kostrijet s mene i opasao me radošću.

12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Zato ti pjeva duša moja i neće zamuknuti: Jahve, Bože moj, dovijeka ću te hvaliti!
