Psalmorum 30
1 psalmus cantici 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 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 adnuntiabit 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 conpungar 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.
