1 'n Psalm, 'n lied by die inwyding van die Huis. Van Dawid.

2 Ek sal U verhoog, HERE, want U het my opgetrek en my vyande oor my nie laat bly wees nie.

3 HERE, my God, ek het U aangeroep om hulp, en U het my gesond gemaak.

4 HERE, U het my siel uit die doderyk laat opkom; U het my lewend gemaak uit die wat in die kuil neerdaal.

5 Psalmsing tot eer van die HERE, o sy gunsgenote, en loof sy heilige gedenknaam;

6 want 'n oomblik is daar in sy toorn, 'n lewe in sy goedgunstigheid; saans vernag die geween, maar smôre ns is daar gejuig.

7 Ek het wel in my sorgeloosheid gesê: Ek sal vir ewig nie wankel nie.

8 HERE, U het my berg deur u welbehae sterk laat staan. U het u aangesig verberg -- ek het verskrik geword!

9 Ek het U aangeroep, HERE, en ek het die HERE gesmeek:

10 Watter voordeel is daar in my bloed as ek neerdaal in die kuil? Sal die stof U loof? Sal dit u trou verkondig?

11 Hoor, HERE, en wees my genadig! HERE, wees my 'n helper!

12 U het my weeklag vir my verander in 'n koordans, U het my roukleed losgemaak en my met vreugde omgord; [ (Psalms 30:13) sodat my eer U kan besing en nie swyg nie. HERE, my God, vir ewig sal ek U loof. ]

1 A Psalm. A Song at the blessing of the House. Of David.

2 \30:1\I will give you praise and honour, O Lord, because through you I have been lifted up; you have not given my haters cause to be glad over me.

3 \30:2\O Lord my God, I sent up my cry to you, and you have made me well.

4 \30:3\O Lord, you have made my soul come again from the underworld: you have given me life and kept me from going down among the dead.

5 \30:4\Make songs to the Lord, O you saints of his, and give praise to his holy name.

6 \30:5\For his wrath is only for a minute; in his grace there is life; weeping may be for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

7 \30:6\When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.

8 \30:7\Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.

9 \30:8\My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.

10 \30:9\What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?

11 \30:10\Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.

12 \30:11\By you my sorrow is turned into dancing; you have taken away my clothing of grief, and given me robes of joy;

13 \30:12\So that my glory may make songs of praise to you and not be quiet. O Lord my God, I will give you praise for ever.
