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.
Ein Psalm, ein Lied zur Tempelweihe, von David. Ich will dich erheben, o HERR, denn du hast aus der Tiefe mich gezogen
2 Yahweh, my God, I called out for you to help [me when I was ill], and you healed me.
O HERR, mein Gott, ich schrie zu dir (um Hilfe), da hast du mir Heilung geschafft.
3 You saved/restored me when I was dying [MTY]. I was nearly dead, but you caused me to get well again. (Sheol h7585)
O HERR, du hast meine Seele aus dem Totenreich heraufgeführt, hast mich am Leben erhalten, so daß ich nicht ins Grab bin gesunken. (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!
Lobsinget dem HERRN, ihr seine Frommen, und preist seinen heiligen Namen!
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.
Denn sein Zorn währt nur einen Augenblick, doch lebenslang seine Gnade: am Abend kehrt Weinen als Gast ein, doch am Morgen herrscht Jubel.
6 As for me, when I had no troubles, I said [to myself], “No one will defeat me!”
Ich aber dachte in meiner Sicherheit: »Ich werde nimmermehr wanken!«
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.
O HERR, nach deiner Gnade hattest du fest meinen Berg gegründet; dann aber verbargst du dein Antlitz, und ich erschrak.
8 [Then] I called out to you, and I pleaded for you [to help me].
Da rief ich zu dir, o HERR, und flehte zu meinem Gott:
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]!
»Was hast du für Gewinn von meinem Blut, wenn zur Gruft ich fahre? Kann der Staub dich preisen und deine Treue verkünden?
10 Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”
O höre mich, HERR, und erbarme dich mein, sei du, o HERR, ein Helfer!«
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.
Du hast mir meine Klage in Reigentanz verwandelt, das Trauerkleid mir gelöst und mit Freude mich gegürtet,
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.
auf daß dir meine Seele lobsinge und nicht schweige: o HERR, mein Gott, in Ewigkeit will ich dir danken!
