1(30) For the end, a Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will exalt you, O Lord; for you have lifted me up, and not caused my enemies to rejoice over me.
1A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David. I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2O Lord my God, I cried to you, and you did heal me.
2Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
3O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Hades, you have delivered me from [among] them that go down to the pit.
3Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4Sing to the Lord, you⌃ his saints, and give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness.
4Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
5For anger is in his wrath, but life in his favor: weeping shall wait for the evening, but joy shall be in the morning.
5For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.
6And I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
6As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”
7O Lord, in your good pleasure you did add strength to my beauty: but you did turn away your face, and I was troubled.
7You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
8To you, O Lord, will I cry; and to my God will I make supplication.
8I cried to you, Yahweh. I made supplication to the Lord:
9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to destruction? Shall the dust give praise to you? or shall it declare your truth?
9“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
10The Lord heard, and had compassion upon me; the Lord is become my helper.
10Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper.”
11You have turned my mourning into joy for me: you have torn off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
11You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
12that my glory may sing praise to you, and I may not be pierced [with sorrow]. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you for ever.
12to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
