Psalmorum 30
1 Psalmus cantici, in dedicatione domus David. [Exaltabo te, Domine, quoniam suscepisti me, nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.
“A psalm of David. To the air of songs for the dedication of a house.” I will extol thee, O LORD! for thou hast lifted me up, And hast not suffered my enemies to rejoice over me.
2 Domine Deus meus, clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.
O Jehovah, my God! I called upon thee, and thou hast healed me!
O LORD! thou hast raised me up from the underworld; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Psallite Domino, sancti ejus; et confitemini memoriæ sanctitatis ejus.
Sing unto the LORD, O ye his servants! And praise his holy name!
5 Quoniam ira in indignatione ejus, et vita in voluntate ejus: ad vesperum demorabitur fletus, et ad matutinum lætitia.
For his anger endureth but a moment, But his favor through life; In the evening sorrow may be a guest, But joy cometh in the morning.
6 Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea: Non movebor in æternum.
I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved!”
7 Domine, in voluntate tua præstitisti decori meo virtutem; avertisti faciem tuam a me, et factus sum conturbatus.
Thou, O LORD! by thy favor, hast made my mountain to stand strong; Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled!
8 Ad te, Domine, clamabo, et ad Deum meum deprecabor.
I cried unto thee, O LORD! To the LORD I made supplication:
9 Quæ utilitas in sanguine meo, dum descendo in corruptionem? numquid confitebitur tibi pulvis, aut annuntiabit veritatem tuam?
“What will my blood profit thee, that I should go down to the pit? Can dust praise thee? Can it declare thy faithfulness?
10 Audivit Dominus, et misertus est mei; Dominus factus est adjutor meus.
Hear, O LORD! and have pity upon me! Be thou, LORD! my helper!”
11 Convertisti planctum meum in gaudium mihi; conscidisti saccum meum, et circumdedisti me lætitia:
Thou didst turn my mourning into dancing; Thou didst loose my sackcloth, and gird me with gladness.
12 ut cantet tibi gloria mea, et non compungar. Domine Deus meus, in æternum confitebor tibi.]
Therefore I will sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah, my God! I will give thanks to thee for ever!
