Zaburi 30
1 Nitakutukuza wewe, Yahwe, kwa kuwa umeniinua na haujawaruhusu maadui zangu juu yangu.
A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.
2 Yahwe Mungu wangu, nilikulilia wewe kwa ajili ya msaada, nawe ukaniponya.
O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mwimbieni sifa Yahwe, ninyi waaminifu wake! Mshukuruni Bwana mkumbukapo utakatifu wake.
Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.
5 Kwa kuwa hasira yake ni ya muda tu; bali neema yake yadumu milele. Kilio huja usiku, bali furaha huja asubuhi.
For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 Kwa ujasiri nilisema, “Sitatikiswa kamwe.”
In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”
7 Yahwe, kwa neema yako uliniweka mimi kama mlima imara; lakini ulipouficha uso wako, nilisumbuka.
O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
8 Nilikulilia wewe, Yahwe, na kuomba msaada kwa Bwana wangu!
To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:
9 Kuna faida gani katika kifo changu, kama nitaenda kaburini? Je, mavumbi yatakusifu wewe? Yatatangaza uaminifu wako?
“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
10 Sikia, Yahwe, na unihurumie! Yahwe, uwe msaidizi wangu.
Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”
11 Wewe umegeuza kuomboleza kwangu kuwa kucheza; wewe umeyaondoa mavazi yangu ya magunia na kunivisha furaha.
You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12 Hivyo sasa utukufu wangu utakuimbia sifa wewe na hautanyamaza; Yahwe Mungu wangu, nitakushukuru wewe milele!
that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
