Salmos 30

1Salmo-cántico para la dedicación de la casa de David.

2Yo te alabo, Yahvé, porque me libraste y no dejaste que a costa mía se alegraran mis enemigos.

3Yahvé, Dios mío, clamé a Ti, y me sanaste.

4Tú, Yahvé, sacaste mi vida del sepulcro; me sacaste de entre los que descienden a la fosa.

5Cantad himnos a Yahvé vosotros sus santos, dad gracias al Nombre de Su santidad.

6Porque su enojo dura un instante, mas su benevolencia es por toda la vida, como el llanto viene al anochecer y con la aurora vuelve la alegría.

7Me decía yo en mi presunción: “Nunca me pasará nada”;

8pues Tú, oh Yahvé, en tu benevolencia, me habías prestado honor y poderío; mas apenas escondiste tu rostro, quedé conturbado.

9Clamé a Ti, oh Yahvé, e imploré la misericordia de mi Dios:

10“¿Qué beneficio se obtendrá con mi sangre, cuando yo descienda a la fosa? ¿Acaso te alabará el polvo, o proclamará tu fidelidad?”

11Me oyó Yahvé y tuvo compasión de mí; Yahvé vino en mi socorro.

12Convertiste en danza mi llanto desataste mi cilicio y me ceñiste de alegría,

13para que mi alma te cante himnos sin cesar. ¡Oh Yahvé, Dios mío, te alabaré eternamente!

1Psalmus cantici, in dedicatione domus David.

2[Exaltabo te, Domine, quoniam suscepisti me, nec delectasti inimicos meos super me.

3Domine Deus meus, clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.

4Domine, eduxisti ab inferno animam meam; salvasti me a descendentibus in lacum.

5Psallite Domino, sancti ejus; et confitemini memoriæ sanctitatis ejus.

6Quoniam ira in indignatione ejus, et vita in voluntate ejus: ad vesperum demorabitur fletus, et ad matutinum lætitia.

7Ego autem dixi in abundantia mea: Non movebor in æternum.

8Domine, in voluntate tua præstitisti decori meo virtutem; avertisti faciem tuam a me, et factus sum conturbatus.

9Ad te, Domine, clamabo, et ad Deum meum deprecabor.

10Quæ utilitas in sanguine meo, dum descendo in corruptionem? numquid confitebitur tibi pulvis, aut annuntiabit veritatem tuam?

11Audivit Dominus, et misertus est mei; Dominus factus est adjutor meus.

12Convertisti planctum meum in gaudium mihi; conscidisti saccum meum, et circumdedisti me lætitia:

13ut cantet tibi gloria mea, et non compungar. Domine Deus meus, in æternum confitebor tibi.]

1A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David’s house.

2I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.

3O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and then hast healed me.

4Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit.

5Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.

6For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.

7And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.

8O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.

9To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.

10What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?

11The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.

12Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:

13To 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.
