Psaumes 30
La Bible du Semeur
Tu m’as rendu à la vie
30 Cantique pour l’inauguration du Temple. Un psaume de David.
2 Je te loue, ô Eternel, ╵car tu m’as tiré du gouffre.
Tu n’as pas permis ╵que mes ennemis ╵se réjouissent à mes dépens.
3 Eternel, mon Dieu,
je t’ai appelé ╵à mon aide, ╵et tu m’as guéri :
4 Eternel, tu m’as fait échapper ╵au séjour des morts,
tu m’as rendu à la vie, ╵en m’évitant de rejoindre ╵les gens qui descendent ╵au tombeau.
5 Chantez donc à l’Eternel, ╵vous tous qui lui êtes attachés !
Apportez-lui vos louanges ! ╵Proclamez sa sainteté !
6 Son courroux dure un instant,
sa faveur est pour la vie.
Si, le soir, des pleurs subsistent,
au matin, la joie éclate.
7 Je vivais paisiblement, ╵et je me disais :
« Je ne tomberai jamais. »
8 Eternel, dans ta faveur, ╵tu avais fortifié ╵la montagne où je demeure.
Tu t’es détourné de moi, ╵et je fus désemparé.
9 J’ai crié vers toi, ╵Eternel,
et j’ai imploré ta grâce, ╵ô Seigneur :
10 « Si je descends dans la tombe,
si je meurs, quel avantage ╵en retires-tu ?
Celui qui n’est plus ╵que poussière, ╵peut-il te louer encore,
peut-il proclamer ╵ta fidélité ?
11 Ecoute, Eternel, ╵aie pitié de moi,
Eternel, viens à mon aide ! »
12 Tu as transformé mes pleurs ╵en une danse de joie,
et tu m’as ôté ╵mes habits de deuil ╵pour me revêtir ╵d’un habit de fête,
13 afin que, de tout mon cœur, ╵et sans me lasser, ╵je te chante.
Eternel, mon Dieu, ╵je te louerai à jamais.
Psalm 30
Christian Standard Bible Anglicised
Joy in the Morning
A psalm; a dedication song for the house. Of David.
30 I will exalt you, Lord,
because you have lifted me up(A)
and have not allowed my enemies
to triumph over me.(B)
2 Lord my God,
I cried to you for help, and you healed me.(C)
3 Lord, you brought me up from Sheol;(D)
you spared me from among those
going down[a] to the Pit.(E)
4 Sing to the Lord, you his faithful ones,
and praise his holy name.(F)
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favour, a lifetime.
Weeping may stay overnight,
but there is joy in the morning.(G)
6 When I was secure, I said,
‘I will never be shaken.’(H)
7 Lord, when you showed your favour,
you made me stand like a strong mountain;(I)
when you hid your face, I was terrified.(J)
8 Lord, I called to you;
I sought favour from my Lord:(K)
9 ‘What gain is there in my death,
if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your truth?(L)
10 Lord, listen and be gracious to me;
Lord, be my helper.’(M)
11 You turned my lament into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,(N)
12 so that I can sing to you and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise you for ever.(O)

Psalm 30
King James Version
30 I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 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.
4 Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication.
9 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.
