PSALMS 29:4

Psalm 30

A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.^d Of David.

I will exalt you, O Lord,

       for you lifted me out of the depths

       and did not let my enemies gloat over me.

O LORD my God, I called to you for help

       and you healed me.

O LORD, you brought me up from the grave^e;

       you spared me from going down into the pit.

Sing to the LORD, you saints of his;

       praise his holy name.

For his anger lasts only a moment,

       but his favor lasts a lifetime;

       weeping may remain for a night,

       but rejoicing comes in the morning.

When I left secure, I said,

       “I will never be shaken.”

O LORD, when you favored me,

       you made my mountain^f stand firm;

       but when you hid your face,

       I was dismayed.

To you, O LORD, I called;

       to the Lord I cried for mercy:

       “What gains is there in my destruction,^g

       in my going down into the pit?

       Will the dust praise you?

       Will it proclaim your faithfulness?

Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me;

       O LORD, be my help.”

You turned my wailing into dancing;

       you removed my sackcloth and clothed me

       with joy,

that my heart may sing to you and not be

       silent,

       O Lord my God, I will give you thanks

       forever.

诗篇·第三十篇

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。

耶和华我的神啊，我曾乎求你，

       你医治了我。

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。

耶和华的圣民哪，你们要歌颂他；

       称赞他可记念的圣名。

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。

至于我，我凡事平顺，便说：

       “我永不动摇。”

耶和华啊，你曾施恩，

       叫我的江山永固；

       你掩了面

         我就惊惶。

耶和华啊，我曾求告你。

       我向耶和华恳求，说：

“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？

耶和华啊，求你应允我，怜恤我！

耶和华啊，求你帮助我！”

你已将我的哀哭变成跳舞，

       将我的麻衣脱去，

       给我披上喜乐。

好叫我的灵（注：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！

Psalm 31

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge;

       let me never be put to shame;

       deliver me in your righteousness.

Turn your ear to me,

       come quickly to my rescue;

  be my rock of refuge,

       a strong fortress to save me.

Since you are my rock and my fortress,

       for the sake of your name lead the guide me.

Free me from the trap that is set for me,

       for you are my refuge.

Into your hands I commit my spirit;

       Redeem me, O LORD, the God of truth.

I hate those who cling to worthless idols;

       I trust in the LORD.

I will be glad and rejoice in your love,

       for you saw my affliction

       and knew the anguish of my soul.

You have not handed me over to the enemy

       but have set my feet in a spacious place.

Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I am in distress;

       my eyes grow weak with sorrow,

       my soul and my body with grief.

My life is consumed by anguish

       and my years by groaning;

my strength fails because of my affliction,”

       and my bones grow weak.

Because of all my enemies,

       I am the utter contempt of my neighbors;

  I am a dread to my friends-

       Those who see me on the street flee from me.

  I am forgotten by them as though I were dead;

       I have become like broken pottery.

  For I hear the slander of many;

       There is terror on every side;

  they conspire against me

       and plot to take my life.

But I trust in you, O LORD;

       I say, “You are my God.”

My times are in your hands;

       Deliver me from my enemies

       And from those who pursue me.

  Let your face shine on your servant;

       save me in your unfailing love.

Let me not be put to shame, O LORD,

       for I have cried out to you;

  but let the wicked be put to shame

       and lie silent in the grave.”

Let their lying lips be silenced,

       for with pride and contempt

       they speak arrogantly against the righteous.

How great is your goodness,

Which you have stored up for those who fear

       you

  which you bestow in the sight of men

       on those who take refuge in you.

  In the shelter of your presence you hide them

       From the intrigues of men;

  in your dwelling you keep them safe

       from accusing tongues.

Praise be to the LORD,

       for he showed his wonderful love to me

       when I was in a besieged city.

In my alarm I said,

       “I am cut off from your sight!”

  Yet you heard my cry for mercy

       when I called to you for help.

Love the LORD, all his saints!

       The LORD preserves the faithful,

       but the proud he pays back in full.

Be strong and take heart,

       all you who hope in the LORD.

Psalm 32

Of David. A makil.^b

Blessed is he

       Whose transgression are forgiven,

       Whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the man

       whose sin the LORD does not count against

         him

       and in whose spirit is no deceit.

When I kept silent,

       my bones wasted away

       through my groaning all day long.

For day and night

       Your hand was heavy upon me;

  my strength was sapped

       as in the heat of summer.

Then I acknowledged my sin to you

       And did not cover up my iniquity.

   I said, “I will confess my stransgressions to the LORD” –

       the guilt of my sin.

Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to you

       While you may be found;

  Surely when the mightly waters rise,

       They will not reach him.

Your are my hiding place;

       You will protect me from trouble

       and surround me with songs of deliverance.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way

you should go;

I will counsel you and watch over you.

Do not be like the horse or the mule,

Which have no understanding

   but must be controlled by bit and bridle

       or they will not come to you.

   Many are the woes of the wicked,

       but the LORD’s unfailing love

       surrounds the man who trusts in him.

Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous;

       sing, all you who are upright in heart!
