< Mazmur 30 >
1 Mazmur Daud. Nyanyian untuk peresmian Rumah Allah. Aku memuji Engkau, ya TUHAN, sebab Engkau sudah menyelamatkan aku dan tidak membiarkan musuhku menyoraki aku.
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.
2 TUHAN Allahku, aku berseru kepada-Mu minta tolong, dan Engkau menyembuhkan aku.
LORD my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
3 Engkau meluputkan aku dari alam maut, dan menghidupkan aku dari antara orang-orang mati. (Sheol )
LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol )
4 Nyanyikanlah puji-pujian bagi TUHAN, hai umat-Nya yang setia, dan bersyukurlah kepada Yang Mahasuci.
Sing praise to the LORD, you holy ones of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
5 Sebab sebentar saja TUHAN marah, kebaikan-Nya berlangsung seumur hidup. Di waktu malam aku menangis, tetapi fajar membawa kegembiraan.
For his anger is but for a moment. His favour is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 Waktu merasa aman, aku berkata, "Aku tak akan dikalahkan!"
As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”
7 Sebab Engkau baik hati kepadaku, ya TUHAN, Kaujadikan aku seperti gunung yang kuat. Tetapi kemudian Engkau bersembunyi daripadaku, dan aku menjadi takut.
You, LORD, when you favoured me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8 Kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, aku berseru, kepada TUHAN aku memohon,
I cried to you, LORD. I made supplication to the Lord:
9 "Apa gunanya bagi-Mu jika aku mati dan turun ke liang kubur? Mungkinkah orang mati memuji Engkau dan mewartakan kesetiaan-Mu?
“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10 Dengarlah, ya TUHAN, dan kasihanilah aku. TUHAN tolonglah aku!"
Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me. LORD, be my helper.”
11 Ratapanku telah Kauubah menjadi tarian gembira, Kauambil kesedihanku dan Kaupenuhi aku dengan sukacita.
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12 Maka aku tak mau berdiam diri; kunyanyikan pujian bagi-Mu, ya TUHAN Allahku, dan bersyukur kepada-Mu untuk selama-lamanya!
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!
