Psalms 30
1 Yahweh, I praise you because you rescued me. You did not allow [me to die], [with the result that] my enemies could gloat/rejoice.
【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 Yahweh, my God, I called out for you to help [me when I was ill], and you healed me.
上主，我一向你呼號，我主，你便醫治了我。
3 You saved/restored me when I was dying [MTY]. I was nearly dead, but you caused me to get well again. (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 All you who belong to Yahweh, sing praise to him! Think about what [God], the holy one, has done, and thank him!
上主的聖民，請向上主歌頌，稱謝上主的聖名。
5 When he becomes angry, he is angry for only a very short time [HYP], but he is good [to us] all of our life. We may cry during the night, but the next morning we will be joyful.
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, when I had no troubles, I said [to myself], “No one will defeat me!”
我曾自誇說過，我永不會動搖。
7 Yahweh, because you were good to me, at first you caused me to be safe [as though I was inside] [MET] a mountain. But then [I became ill, and I thought that] you had turned away from me, and I became afraid.
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 [Then] I called out to you, and I pleaded for you [to help me].
上主，我曾向你呼號，我曾向我主哀求說：
9 [I said], “Yahweh, (what will you gain if I die?/ you won’t gain anything if I die) [MTY]. (In what way will it benefit you?/it won’t benefit you at all) if I go to the place where the dead people are [RHQ]. Dead people are certainly not able to praise you [RHQ], and they are not able to tell others that you are trustworthy [RHQ]!
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 Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”
上主，請俯聽我，憐憫我；上主，求你前來助佑我。
11 But [now you have healed me], and you have caused me to change from being sad to dancing [joyfully]. You have taken away the clothes that showed that I was very sad and you have given me clothes that showed that I was [very] joyful.
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 So I will not be silent; I will sing out [loudly] to praise you. Yahweh, you are my God, and I will thank 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！
