< Psalms 30 >
1 [A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.] I will extol you, Jehovah, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
En Psalme, en Sang ved Husets Indvielse; af David. Herre! jeg vil ophøje dig; thi du har draget mig op, og du lod ikke mine Fjender glædes over mig.
2 Jehovah my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
Herre, min Gud! jeg raabte til dig, og du helbredede mig.
3 Jehovah, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol )
Herre! du førte min Sjæl op fra de døde, du lod mig leve, at jeg ikke for ned i Hulen. (Sheol )
4 Sing praise to Jehovah, you his faithful ones. Give thanks to his holy name.
Synger for Herren, I hans hellige! og priser hans Helligheds Ihukommelse.
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.
Thi et Øjeblik varer hans Vrede, men hans Naade Livet igennem; om Aftenen gæster os Graad, men om Morgenen Frydeskrig.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
Og jeg sagde i min Tryghed: Jeg skal ikke rokkes evindelig.
7 You, Jehovah, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
Herre! i din Naade havde du befæstet mit Bjerg; du skjulte dit Ansigt, da blev jeg forfærdet.
8 I cried to you, Jehovah. To Jehovah I made petition:
Til dig, Herre! vil jeg raabe, og til Herren vil jeg bede ydmygeligt.
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?
Hvad Vinding er der i mit Blod, at jeg farer ned til Graven? Kan Støv takke dig? Kan det forkynde din Sandhed?
10 Hear, Jehovah, and have mercy on me. Jehovah, be my helper."
Herre! hør, og vær mig naadig; Herre! vær min Hjælper.
11 You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
Du har omskiftet min Sorg til Dans for mig; du har løst min Sæk og bundet op om mig med Glæde,
12 To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
at min Ære maa lovsynge dig og ikke tie; Herre, min Gud! evindelig vil jeg takke dig.
