Psaumes 30

1Psaume. Cantique pour la dédicace de la maison. De David.

2Je t’exalte, Yahweh, car tu m’as relevé, tu n’as pas réjoui mes ennemis à mon sujet.

3Yahweh, mon Dieu, j’ai crié vers toi, et tu m’as guéri.

4Yahweh, tu as fait remonter mon âme du schéol, tu m’as rendu la vie, loin de ceux qui descendent dans la fosse.

5Chantez Yahweh, vous ses fidèles, célébrez son saint souvenir !

6Car sa colère dure un instant, mais sa grâce toute la vie ; le soir viennent les pleurs, et le matin l’allégresse.

7Je disais dans ma sécurité : « Je ne serai jamais ébranlé ! »

8Yahweh, par ta grâce, tu avais affermi ma montagne ; — tu as caché ta face, et j’ai été troublé.

9Yahweh, j’ai crié vers toi, j’ai imploré Yahweh :

10« Que gagnes-tu à verser mon sang ; à me faire descendre dans la fosse ? La poussière chantera-t-elle tes louanges, annoncera-t-elle ta vérité ?

11Écoute, Yahweh, sois-moi propice ; Yahweh, viens à mon secours ! »—

12Et tu as changé mes lamentations en allégresse, tu as délié mon sac et tu m’as ceint de joie,

13afin que mon âme te chante et ne se taise pas. Yahweh, mon Dieu, à jamais je te louerai.

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.
