Psaltaren 30
1 En Psalm, till att sjunga om Davids hus vigning. Jag prisar dig, Herre: ty du hafver upphöjt mig, och låter icke mina fiendar glädja sig öfver mig.
Yahweh, I praise you because you rescued me. You did not allow [me to die], [with the result that] my enemies could gloat/rejoice.
2 Herre min Gud, då jag ropade till dig, gjorde du mig helbregda.
Yahweh, my God, I called out for you to help [me when I was ill], and you healed me.
3 Herre, du hafver fört mina själ utu helvetet; du hafver behållit mig lefvande, der de i helvetet foro. (Sheol h7585)
You saved/restored me when I was dying [MTY]. I was nearly dead, but you caused me to get well again. (Sheol h7585)
4 I Helige, lofsjunger Herranom, och tacker i hans helga högtid.
All you who belong to Yahweh, sing praise to him! Think about what [God], the holy one, has done, and thank him!
5 Ty hans vrede varar ett ögnablick, och han hafver lust till lif; om aftonen varar gråten, men om morgonen glädjen.
When he becomes angry, he is angry for only a very short time [HYP], but he is good [to us] all of our life. We may cry during the night, but the next morning we will be joyful.
6 Men jag sade, då mig väl gick: Jag skall aldrig omkull ligga.
As for me, when I had no troubles, I said [to myself], “No one will defeat me!”
7 Ty du, Herre, hafver igenom din goda vilja gjort mitt berg starkt; men då du bortdolde ditt ansigte, förskräcktes jag.
Yahweh, because you were good to me, at first you caused me to be safe [as though I was inside] [MET] a mountain. But then [I became ill, and I thought that] you had turned away from me, and I became afraid.
8 Jag vill, Herre, ropa till dig; Herran vill jag bedja.
[Then] I called out to you, and I pleaded for you [to help me].
9 Hvad nytta är i mitt blod, när jag död är? Månn ock stoftet tacka dig, och förkunna dina trohet?
[I said], “Yahweh, (what will you gain if I die?/ you won’t gain anything if I die) [MTY]. (In what way will it benefit you?/it won’t benefit you at all) if I go to the place where the dead people are [RHQ]. Dead people are certainly not able to praise you [RHQ], and they are not able to tell others that you are trustworthy [RHQ]!
10 Hör, Herre, och var mig nådelig; Herre, var min hjelpare.
Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”
11 Du hafver förvandlat mig min klagan uti fröjd; du hafver afklädt mig min säck, och omgjordat mig med glädje;
But [now you have healed me], and you have caused me to change from being sad to dancing [joyfully]. You have taken away the clothes that showed that I was very sad and you have given me clothes that showed that I was [very] joyful.
12 På det min ära skall lofsjunga dig, och icke tyst varda. Herre, min Gud, jag vill dig tacka i evighet.
So I will not be silent; I will sing out [loudly] to praise you. Yahweh, you are my God, and I will thank you forever.
