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)

Thanksgiving for Recovery from Grave Illness

A Psalm of David. A Song at the dedication of the Temple.

30 I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast drawn me up,
    and hast not let my foes rejoice over me.
O Lord my God, I cried to thee for help,
    and thou hast healed me.
O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol,
    restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit.[a]

Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,
    and give thanks to his holy name.
For his anger is but for a moment,
    and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night,
    but joy comes with the morning.

As for me, I said in my prosperity,
    “I shall never be moved.”
By thy favor, O Lord,
    thou hadst established me as a strong mountain;
thou didst hide thy face,
    I was dismayed.

To thee, O Lord, I cried;
    and to the Lord I made supplication:
“What profit is there in my death,
    if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise thee?
    Will it tell of thy faithfulness?
10 Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me!
    O Lord, be thou 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 soul[b] may praise thee and not be silent.
    O Lord my God, I will give thanks to thee for ever.

O Lord my God, I (D)cried to you for help,
    and you have (E)healed me.
O Lord, you have brought up my soul from (F)Sheol;

    you made my (P)mountain stand strong;
you (Q)hid your face;
    I was (R)dismayed.

To you, O Lord, I cry,
    and (S)to the Lord I plead for mercy:
“What profit is there in my death,[d]
    if I go down to the pit?[e]

Psalmul 30

Un psalm. O cântare pentru sfinţirea Casei Domnului, făcută de David

Te înalţ, Doamne, căci m-ai(A) ridicat
şi n-ai lăsat pe vrăjmaşii mei să se bucure(B) de mine.
Doamne, Dumnezeule,
eu am strigat către Tine,
şi Tu m-ai vindecat(C).
Doamne, Tu mi-ai ridicat(D) sufletul din Locuinţa morţilor,
Tu m-ai adus la viaţă din mijlocul celor ce se pogoară(E) în groapă.
Cântaţi(F) Domnului, voi cei iubiţi de El,
măriţi prin laudele voastre Numele Lui cel Sfânt!
Căci mânia Lui ţine numai o clipă(G),
dar îndurarea Lui ţine toată(H) viaţa:
seara vine plânsul,
iar dimineaţa(I), veselia.
Când îmi mergea bine(J), ziceam:
„Nu mă voi clătina niciodată!”
Doamne, prin bunăvoinţa Ta mă aşezaseşi pe un munte tare,
dar Ţi-ai ascuns(K) Faţa, şi m-am tulburat.
Doamne, eu am strigat către Tine
şi m-am rugat Domnului zicând:
„Ce vei câştiga dacă-mi verşi sângele şi mă pogori în groapă?
Poate să Te laude ţărâna(L)?
Poate ea să vestească credincioşia Ta?
10 Ascultă, Doamne, ai milă de mine!
Doamne, ajută-mă!”
11 Şi mi-ai prefăcut(M) tânguirile în veselie,
mi-ai dezlegat sacul de jale şi m-ai încins cu bucurie,
12 pentru ca inima mea să-Ţi cânte şi să nu stea mută.
Doamne, Dumnezeule, eu pururea Te voi lăuda!
