| Chapter 30 |
1 | A Psalm. -- A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me. |
2 | Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me. |
3 | Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit. |
4 | Sing praise to Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, I call, And unto Jehovah 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 Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, 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 Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee! |
