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]

A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.[b] Of David.

I will exalt(A) you, Lord,
    for you lifted me out of the depths(B)
    and did not let my enemies gloat over me.(C)
Lord my God, I called to you for help,(D)
    and you healed me.(E)
You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;(F)
    you spared me from going down to the pit.(G)

Sing(H) the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;(I)
    praise his holy name.(J)
For his anger(K) lasts only a moment,(L)
    but his favor lasts a lifetime;(M)
weeping(N) may stay for the night,
    but rejoicing comes in the morning.(O)

When I felt secure, I said,
    “I will never be shaken.”(P)
Lord, when you favored me,
    you made my royal mountain[c] stand firm;
but when you hid your face,(Q)
    I was dismayed.

To you, Lord, I called;
    to the Lord I cried for mercy:
“What is gained if I am silenced,
    if I go down to the pit?(R)
Will the dust praise you?
    Will it proclaim your faithfulness?(S)
10 Hear,(T) Lord, and be merciful to me;(U)
    Lord, be my help.(V)

11 You turned my wailing(W) into dancing;(X)
    you removed my sackcloth(Y) and clothed me with joy,(Z)
12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
    Lord my God, I will praise(AA) you forever.(AB)

  3. Psalm 30:7 That is, Mount Zion

30 I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.

O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.

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 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

A Psalm of David: dedication-song of the house.

30 I will extol thee, Jehovah; for thou hast delivered me, and hast not made mine enemies to rejoice over me.

Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.

Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol, thou hast quickened me from among those that go down to the pit.

Sing psalms unto Jehovah, ye saints of his, and give thanks in remembrance of his holiness.

For a moment [is passed] in his anger, a life in his favour; at even weeping cometh for the night, and at morn there is rejoicing.

As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

Jehovah, by thy favour thou hadst made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

I called to thee, Jehovah, and unto the Lord did I make supplication:

What profit is there in my blood, in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

10 Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious unto me; Jehovah, be my helper.

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

12 That [my] glory may sing psalms of thee, and not be silent. Jehovah my God, I will praise thee for ever.
