Psalms 30

1 [A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.] I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

【病後感恩歌】 聖殿祝聖的詩歌，達味作。 上主，我稱揚你，因為你救拔了我，你也沒有使我的仇敵向我自誇。

2 LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.

上主，我一向你呼號，我主，你便醫治了我。

3 LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

上主，你由陰府中把我救出，又使我安全復生，免降幽谷。 (Sheol h7585)

4 Sing praise to the LORD, you his faithful ones. Give thanks to his holy name.

上主的聖民，請向上主歌頌，稱謝上主的聖名。

5 For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

因為上主的忿怒，瞬息消散；上主的恩愛卻要終生綿延。晚間雖令人哭涕，清晨卻使人歡喜。

6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."

我曾自誇說過，我永不會動搖。

7 You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

上主，你恩待我，使我立足於穩固山岡；但是你一掩面，我便立刻感到失措驚惶。

8 I cried to you, LORD. To the LORD I made petition:

上主，我曾向你呼號，我曾向我主哀求說：

9 "What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

我如果降入陰府，我的血於你何益？灰土豈能讚美你，或宣揚你的忠義？

10 Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper."

上主，請俯聽我，憐憫我；上主，求你前來助佑我。

11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

你把我的哀痛，給我變成了舞蹈，脫去了我的苦衣給我披上喜樂；

12 To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever.

為此，我的心靈歌頌你，永不止息；上主，我的天主，我要永遠稱謝你！
