Psalmorum 30
1 Psalmus Cantici, in finem, in dedicatione domus David. Exaltabo te Domine quoniam suscepisti me: nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.
A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House; of David. I will extol thee, O LORD, for Thou hast raised me up, and hast not suffered mine enemies to rejoice over me.
2 Domine Deus meus clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.
O LORD my God, I cried unto Thee, and Thou didst heal me;
O LORD, Thou broughtest up my soul from the nether-world; Thou didst keep me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Psallite Domino sancti eius: et confitemini memoriae sanctitatis eius.
Sing praise unto the LORD, O ye His godly ones, and give thanks to His holy name.
5 Quoniam ira in indignatione eius: et vita in voluntate eius. Ad vesperum demorabitur fletus: et ad matutinum laetitia.
For His anger is but for a moment, His favour is for a life-time; weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6 Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea: Non movebor in aeternum.
Now I had said in my security: 'I shall never be moved.'
7 Domine in voluntate tua, praestitisti decori meo virtutem. Avertisti faciem tuam a me, et factus sum conturbatus.
Thou hadst established, O LORD, in Thy favour my mountain as a stronghold — Thou didst hide Thy face; I was affrighted.
8 Ad te Domine clamabo: et ad Deum meum deprecabor.
Unto Thee, O LORD, did I call, and unto the LORD I made supplication:
9 Quae utilitas in sanguine meo, dum descendo in corruptionem? Numquid confitebitur tibi pulvis, aut annunciabit veritatem tuam?
'What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? shall it declare Thy truth?
10 Audivit Dominus, et misertus est mei: Dominus factus est adiutor meus.
Hear, O LORD, and be gracious unto me; LORD, be Thou my helper.'
11 Convertisti planctum meum in gaudium mihi: conscidisti saccum meum, et circumdedisti me laetitia:
Thou didst turn for me 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 aeternum confitebor tibi.
So that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent; O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever.
