< Psalms 30 >
1 I will extol you, O LORD; for you have lifted me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
Mazmur Daud. Nyanyian untuk peresmian Rumah Allah. Aku memuji Engkau, ya TUHAN, sebab Engkau sudah menyelamatkan aku dan tidak membiarkan musuhku menyoraki aku.
2 O LORD my God, I cried unto you, and you have healed me.
TUHAN Allahku, aku berseru kepada-Mu minta tolong, dan Engkau menyembuhkan aku.
3 O LORD, you have brought up my soul from the grave: you have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol )
Engkau meluputkan aku dari alam maut, dan menghidupkan aku dari antara orang-orang mati. (Sheol )
4 Sing unto the LORD, O all of you saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
Nyanyikanlah puji-pujian bagi TUHAN, hai umat-Nya yang setia, dan bersyukurlah kepada Yang Mahasuci.
5 For his anger endures but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
Sebab sebentar saja TUHAN marah, kebaikan-Nya berlangsung seumur hidup. Di waktu malam aku menangis, tetapi fajar membawa kegembiraan.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
Waktu merasa aman, aku berkata, "Aku tak akan dikalahkan!"
7 LORD, by your favour you have made my mountain to stand strong: you did hide your face, and I was troubled.
Sebab Engkau baik hati kepadaku, ya TUHAN, Kaujadikan aku seperti gunung yang kuat. Tetapi kemudian Engkau bersembunyi daripadaku, dan aku menjadi takut.
8 I cried to you, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.
Kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, aku berseru, kepada TUHAN aku memohon,
9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? shall it declare your truth?
"Apa gunanya bagi-Mu jika aku mati dan turun ke liang kubur? Mungkinkah orang mati memuji Engkau dan mewartakan kesetiaan-Mu?
10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be you my helper.
Dengarlah, ya TUHAN, dan kasihanilah aku. TUHAN tolonglah aku!"
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing: you have put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
Ratapanku telah Kauubah menjadi tarian gembira, Kauambil kesedihanku dan Kaupenuhi aku dengan sukacita.
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to you, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto you for ever.
Maka aku tak mau berdiam diri; kunyanyikan pujian bagi-Mu, ya TUHAN Allahku, dan bersyukur kepada-Mu untuk selama-lamanya!
