< Mazmur 30 >
1 Mazmur. Nyanyian untuk pentahbisan Bait Suci. Dari Daud. Aku akan memuji Engkau, ya TUHAN, sebab Engkau telah menarik aku ke atas, dan tidak memberi musuh-musuhku bersukacita atas aku.
A psalm of David. A psalm for the dedication of the Temple. I want to tell everyone how good you are, Lord, for you saved me, and you didn't let my enemies triumph over me.
2 TUHAN, Allahku, kepada-Mu aku berteriak minta tolong, dan Engkau telah menyembuhkan aku.
Lord, my God, I called out to you for help, and you have healed me.
3 TUHAN, Engkau mengangkat aku dari dunia orang mati, Engkau menghidupkan aku di antara mereka yang turun ke liang kubur. (Sheol )
Lord, you rescued me from the grave, you brought me back to life, saving me from going down into the pit of death. (Sheol )
4 Nyanyikanlah mazmur bagi TUHAN, hai orang-orang yang dikasihi-Nya, dan persembahkanlah syukur kepada nama-Nya yang kudus!
You who trust the Lord, sing praises to him, and be thankful for his holy character!
5 Sebab sesaat saja Ia murka, tetapi seumur hidup Ia murah hati; sepanjang malam ada tangisan, menjelang pagi terdengar sorak-sorai.
For his anger only lasts a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime. You may spend the night in tears, but happiness comes with the morning.
6 Dalam kesenanganku aku berkata: "Aku takkan goyah untuk selama-lamanya!"
When things were going well, I said, “Nothing will ever shake me!”
7 TUHAN, oleh karena Engkau berkenan, Engkau telah menempatkan aku di atas gunung yang kokoh; ketika Engkau menyembunyikan wajah-Mu, aku terkejut.
Lord, when you showed me your favor I stood as strong as a mountain; when you turned away from me I was terrified.
8 Kepada-Mu, ya TUHAN, aku berseru, dan kepada Tuhanku aku memohon:
I called out to you for help, Lord. I asked the Lord for grace, saying,
9 "Apakah untungnya kalau darahku tertumpah, kalau aku turun ke dalam lobang kubur? Dapatkah debu bersyukur kepada-Mu dan memberitakan kesetiaan-Mu?
What would you gain if I die, if I go down into the pit of death? Would my dust praise you? Would it tell of your trustworthiness?
10 Dengarlah, TUHAN, dan kasihanilah aku, TUHAN, jadilah penolongku!"
Please listen to me, Lord, and be gracious to me! Lord, you are the one who helps me.
11 Aku yang meratap telah Kauubah menjadi orang yang menari-nari, kain kabungku telah Kaubuka, pinggangku Kauikat dengan sukacita,
You have turned my weeping into dancing. You have taken off my clothes of sackcloth and dressed me in happiness,
12 supaya jiwaku menyanyikan mazmur bagi-Mu dan jangan berdiam diri. TUHAN, Allahku, untuk selama-lamanya aku mau menyanyikan syukur bagi-Mu.
so I can sing praises to you and not keep quiet. Lord my God, I will thank you forever!
