Salmos 30
(En salme. En sang ved husets indvielse. Af David.) HERRE, jeg ophøjer dig, thi du bjærgede mig, lod ej mine Fjender glæde sig over mig;
HERRE min Gud, jeg råbte til dig, og du helbredte mig.
Fra Dødsriget, HERRE, drog du min Sjæl, kaldte mig til Live af Gravens Dyb.
Lovsyng HERREN, I hans fromme, pris hans hellige Navn!
Thi et Øjeblik varer hans Vrede, Livet igennem hans Nåde; om Aftenen gæster os Gråd, om Morgenen Frydesang.
HERRE, i Nåde havde du fæstnet mit Bjerg; du skjulte dit Åsyn, jeg blev forfærdet.
Jeg råbte, HERRE, til dig, og tryglende bad jeg til HERREN:
Du vendte min Sorg til Dans, løste min Sørgedragt, hylled mig i Glæde,
at min Ære skal prise dig uden Ophør. HERRE min Gud, jeg vil takke dig evigt!
[A Psalm {and} Song {at} the dedication of the house of David.] 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. {at...: or, to the memorial}
For his anger {endureth but} a moment; in his favour {is} life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy {cometh} in the morning. {his anger...: Heb. there is but a moment in his anger} {for a night: Heb. in the evening} {joy: Heb. singing}
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. {made...: Heb. settled strength for my mountain}
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?
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
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. {my glory: that is, my tongue, or, my soul}
