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。
我的上帝耶和华啊,
我呼求你,你就医治了我。
耶和华啊,你从阴间把我救出,
没有让我落入坟墓。
耶和华忠心的子民啊,
你们要歌颂祂,
赞美祂的圣名。
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。
我在顺境中曾说:
“我永不动摇。”
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。
耶和华啊,我向你呼求,
恳求你怜悯,说:
“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

A psalm. A song for the temple dedication. Of David.

30 I exalt you, Lord, because you pulled me up;
    you didn’t let my enemies celebrate over me.
Lord, my God, I cried out to you for help,
    and you healed me.
Lord, you brought me[a] up from the grave,[b]
    brought me back to life from among those going down to the pit.

You who are faithful to the Lord,
    sing praises to him;
    give thanks to his holy name!
His anger lasts for only a second,
    but his favor lasts a lifetime.
Weeping may stay all night,
    but by morning, joy!

When I was comfortable, I said,
    “I will never stumble.”
Because it pleased you, Lord,
    you made me a strong mountain.
But then you hid your presence.
    I was terrified.
I cried out to you, Lord.
    I begged my Lord for mercy:
“What is to be gained by my spilled blood,
    by my going down into the pit?
Does dust thank you?
    Does it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Lord, listen and have mercy on me!
    Lord, be my helper!”

11 You changed my mourning into dancing.
    You took off my funeral clothes
        and dressed me up in joy
12     so that my whole being
    might sing praises to you and never stop.
Lord, my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
