Psalms 30

1 A Psalm. — A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.

Psalmus cantici, in dedicatione domus David. Exaltabo te, Domine, quoniam suscepisti me, nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.

2 Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.

Domine Deus meus, clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.

3 Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit. (Sheol h7585)

Domine, eduxisti ab inferno animam meam; salvasti me a descendentibus in lacum. (Sheol h7585)

4 Sing praise to Jehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,

Psallite Domino, sancti ejus; et confitemini memoriæ sanctitatis ejus.

5 For — a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.

Quoniam ira in indignatione ejus, et vita in voluntate ejus: ad vesperum demorabitur fletus, et ad matutinum lætitia.

6 And I — I have said in mine ease, 'I am not moved — to the age.

Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea: Non movebor in æternum.

7 O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,' Thou hast hidden Thy face — I have been troubled.

Domine, in voluntate tua præstitisti decori meo virtutem; avertisti faciem tuam a me, et factus sum conturbatus.

8 Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, And unto Jehovah I make supplication.

Ad te, Domine, clamabo, et ad Deum meum deprecabor.

9 'What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth?

Quæ utilitas in sanguine meo, dum descendo in corruptionem? numquid confitebitur tibi pulvis, aut annuntiabit veritatem tuam?

10 Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to me.'

Audivit Dominus, et misertus est mei; Dominus factus est adjutor meus.

11 Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me [with] joy.

Convertisti planctum meum in gaudium mihi; conscidisti saccum meum, et circumdedisti me lætitia:

12 So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee!

ut cantet tibi gloria mea, et non compungar. Domine Deus meus, in æternum confitebor tibi.
