诗篇 30
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
感恩的祷告
大卫的诗，作献殿之歌。
30 耶和华啊，我要赞美你，
因为你救我脱离危难，
不让我的仇敌幸灾乐祸。
2 我的上帝耶和华啊，
我呼求你，你就医治了我。
3 耶和华啊，你从阴间把我救出，
没有让我落入坟墓。
4 耶和华忠心的子民啊，
你们要歌颂祂，
赞美祂的圣名。
5 因为祂的怒气瞬间消逝，
祂的恩惠却持续一生。
我们虽然整夜哭泣，
早晨必定欢呼。
6 我在顺境中曾说：
“我永不动摇。”
7 耶和华啊，
你向我施恩，我便稳固如山；
你掩面不理我，我就惊慌失措。
8 耶和华啊，我向你呼求，
恳求你怜悯，说：
9 “耶和华啊，
我被毁灭、落入坟墓有何益处？
我归于尘土，还能赞美你、
宣扬你的信实吗？
10 耶和华啊，求你垂听我的呼求，怜悯我！
耶和华啊，求你帮助我！”
11 你把我的哀哭变成了舞步，
为我脱下悲伤的麻衣，
披上喜乐的外袍，
12 好叫我从心底歌颂你，
不致默然无声。
我的上帝耶和华啊，
我要永远向你感恩！
Psalm 30
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 30[a]
Thanksgiving for Deliverance
1 A psalm. A song for the dedication of the Temple.[b] Of David.
I
2 I praise you, Lord, for you raised me up
and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
3 O Lord, my God,
I cried out to you for help and you healed[c] me.
4 Lord, you brought my soul up from Sheol;
you let me live, from going down to the pit.[d](A)
II
5 Sing praise to the Lord, you faithful;
give thanks to his holy memory.
6 For his anger lasts but a moment;
his favor a lifetime.
At dusk weeping comes for the night;
but at dawn there is rejoicing.
III
7 Complacent,[e] I once said,
“I shall never be shaken.”
8 Lord, you showed me favor,
established for me mountains of virtue.
But when you hid your face
I was struck with terror.(B)
9 To you, Lord, I cried out;
with the Lord I pleaded for mercy:
10 [f]“What gain is there from my lifeblood,
from my going down to the grave?
Does dust give you thanks
or declare your faithfulness?
11 Hear, O Lord, have mercy on me;
Lord, be my helper.”
IV
12 You changed my mourning into dancing;
you took off my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness.(C)
13 So that my glory may praise you
and not be silent.
O Lord, my God,
forever will I give you thanks.
Footnotes
- Psalm 30 An individual thanksgiving in four parts: praise and thanks for deliverance and restoration (Ps 30:2–4); an invitation to others to join in (Ps 30:5–6); a flashback to the time before deliverance (Ps 30:7–11); a return to praise and thanks (Ps 30:12). Two sets of images recur: 1) going down, death, silence; 2) coming up, life, praising. God has delivered the psalmist from one state to the other.
- 30:1 For the dedication of the Temple: a later adaptation of the Psalm to celebrate the purification of the Temple in 164 B.C. during the Maccabean Revolt.
- 30:3 Healed: for God as healer, see also Ps 103:3; 107:20; Hos 6:1; 7:1; 11:3; 14:5.
- 30:4 Sheol…pit: the shadowy underworld residence of the spirits of the dead, here a metaphor for near-death.
- 30:7 Complacent: untroubled existence is often seen as a source of temptation to forget God, cf. Dt 8:10–18; Hos 13:6; Prv 30:9.
- 30:10 In the stillness of Sheol no one gives you praise; let me live and be among your worshipers, cf. Ps 6:6; 88:11–13; 115:17; Is 38:18.
