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
EasyEnglish Bible
David wrote this song. He asks God to bless the Temple.
Thank you, Lord[a]
30 Lord, I will praise you,
because you have saved me from death.
You have not let my enemies laugh at me.
2 Lord, my God, I called to you for help,
and you have made me well again.
3 Lord, you pulled me up
out of the deep hole of death.
You saved me
from among those who are going into the grave.
4 Sing to the Lord,
you people who trust him.
Praise his holy name.
5 His anger continues only for a moment,
but he is kind to us for our whole life.
You may be sad all through the night,
but in the morning, you will be happy again.[b]
6 When I was feeling safe and strong,
I thought, ‘Nothing can ever destroy me.’
7 But Lord, it was you who made my kingdom strong,
because you are so kind.
But then you turned away from me,
and I became very afraid.[c]
8 I called to you for help, Lord.
I asked you to be kind to me, my Lord.
9 If I go down into the deep hole of death,
that will not help you!
My dead body cannot praise you there!
It cannot tell people to trust you!
10 Lord, please listen to me!
Please be kind to me!
Lord, please be my helper!
11 Now you have caused me to stop crying,
so that I dance instead!
I do not need to wear sackcloth,
because I am no longer sad.
Instead, you have made me very happy.[d]
12 So I am truly happy and I will sing to praise you.
I cannot stay quiet!
Lord, my God,
I will continue to thank you for ever.
Footnotes
- 30:1 In this psalm, David thanks God for taking care of him. Sometimes David had trouble. He thought that he would die. But when he asked God for help, God was very kind to him. Then David remembered to thank God. He tells other people to praise God too. We can all use Psalm 30 when God answers our prayers.
- 30:5 David was very ill. He thought that he would soon die. He prayed to God. God made him well again. So he asks everyone that believes in God to praise God with him. God was angry only for a short time.
- 30:7 David thought that he had made himself safe. God showed David that this was not true. It was only God that made David safe and strong.
- 30:11 David is now happy again. He does not need to wear rough clothes (sackcloth) any more. People wore sackcloth to show that they were very sad.
