Psalms 30

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David's house.	1 A psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David.
2 I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.	2 I praise you, LORD, for you raised me up and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
3 O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and then hast healed me.	3 O LORD, my God, I cried out to you and you healed me.
4 Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit.	4 LORD, you brought me up from Sheol; you kept me from going down to the pit.
5 Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.	5 Sing praise to the LORD, you faithful; give thanks to God's holy name.
6 For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.	6 For divine anger lasts but a moment; divine favor lasts a lifetime. At dusk weeping comes for the night; but at dawn there is rejoicing.
7 And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.	7 Complacent, I once said, "I shall never be shaken."
8 O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.	8 LORD, when you showed me favor I stood like the mighty mountains. But when you hid your face I was struck with terror.
9 To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.	9 To you, LORD, I cried out; with the Lord I pleaded for mercy:
10 What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?	10 "What gain is there from my lifeblood, from my going down to the grave? Does dust give you thanks or declare your faithfulness?
11 The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.	11 Hear, O LORD, have mercy on me; LORD, be my helper."
12 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:	12 You changed my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.
13 To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.	13 With my whole being I sing endless praise to you. O LORD, my God, forever will I give you thanks.
