| Chapter 30 |
1 |
A Psalm. -- A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Yehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me. |
2 |
Yehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me. |
3 |
Yehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down to the pit. |
4 |
Sing praise to Yehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness, |
5 |
For -- a moment is in His anger, Life is in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing. |
6 |
And I -- I have said in mine ease, `I am not moved -- to the age. |
7 |
O Yehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,` Thou hast hidden Thy face -- I have been troubled. |
8 |
Unto Thee, O Yehovah, I call, And unto Yehovah I make supplication. |
9 |
`What gain is in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth? |
10 |
Hear, O Yehovah, and favour me, O Yehovah, be a helper to me.` |
11 |
Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me with joy. |
12 |
So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Yehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee! |
