诗篇30:
1(大卫在献殿的时候,作这诗歌。)耶和华啊,我要尊崇你,因为你曾提拔我,不叫仇敌向我夸耀。
2耶和华我的神啊,我曾呼求你,你医治了我。
3耶和华啊,你曾把我的灵魂从阴间救上来,使我存活,不至于下坑。
4耶和华的圣民哪,你们要歌颂他,称赞他可记念的圣名。
5因为他的怒气不过是转眼之间。他的恩典乃是一生之久。一宿虽然有哭泣,早晨便必欢呼。
6至于我,我凡事平顺,便说,我永不动摇。
7耶和华啊,你曾施恩,叫我的江山稳固。你掩了面,我就惊惶。
8耶和华啊,我曾求告你。我向耶和华恳求,说,
9我被害流血,下到坑中,有什么益处呢?尘土岂能称赞你,传说你的诚实吗?
10耶和华啊,求你应允我,怜恤我。耶和华啊,求你帮助我。
11你已将我的哀哭变为跳舞,将我的麻衣脱去,给我披上喜乐。
12好叫我的灵(原文作荣耀)歌颂你,并不住声。耶和华我的神啊,我要称谢你,直到永远。
3You brought me up from the grave,#30:3 Hebrew from Sheol. O Lord.You kept me from falling into the pit of death.
4Sing to the Lord, all you godly ones!Praise his holy name.
5For his anger lasts only a moment,but his favor lasts a lifetime!Weeping may last through the night,but joy comes with the morning.
6When I was prosperous, I said,“Nothing can stop me now!”
7Your favor, O Lord, made me as secure as a mountain.Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered.
8I cried out to you, O Lord.I begged the Lord for mercy, saying,
9“What will you gain if I die,if I sink into the grave?Can my dust praise you?Can it tell of your faithfulness?
10Hear me, Lord, and have mercy on me.Help me, O Lord.”
11You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing.You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,
12that I might sing praises to you and not be silent.O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!
