Cántico para la dedicación de la Casa. Salmo de David.
1Te glorifico oh YHVH, porque me has levantado, Y no has dejado que mis enemigos se alegren de mí.2¡Oh YHVH, Dios mío! Clamé a ti, y me sanaste.3¡Oh YHVH, arrebataste mi alma del Seol, Cuando bajaba al sepulcro, hiciste que volviera a vivir.4Cantad salmos a YHVH, vosotros sus santos, Y celebrad la memoria de su santidad.5Porque por un momento es su ira, Pero su favor dura toda la vida. Por la noche dura el llanto, Pero al amanecer viene la alegría.6En medio de mi seguridad, me decía: No seré conmovido jamás,7Porque con tu favor, oh YHVH, Me habías afirmado como un monte fuerte. Escondiste tu rostro, fui turbado;8A ti clamé, oh YHVH, A Adonay dirigí mi súplica:9¿Que provecho hay en mi muerte cuando baje a la sepultura? ¿Te alabará el polvo? ¿Anunciará tu verdad?10Escucha, oh YHVH, y ten piedad de mí, ¡Oh YHVH, sé Tú mi ayudador!11Cambiaste mi lamento en baile, Desataste mi cilicio y me vestiste de alegría,12Para que mi lengua entone salmos y no calle más. ¡Oh YHVH, Dios mío, te alabaré para siempre!
1A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple. I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me. (2 S 5:11; 1 Cr 22:1; Sal 13:4; Sal 25:2; Sal 35:19; Sal 35:24; Sal 107:32)2O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me. (Sal 6:2; Sal 88:13)3O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.[1] (Sal 16:10; Sal 28:1)4Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name.[2] (1 Cr 16:4; Sal 50:5; Sal 97:12)5For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime.[3] Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning. (Job 33:26; Sal 63:3; Sal 103:9; Sal 126:5; Is 26:20; Is 54:7; 2 Co 4:17)6As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.” (Job 29:18; Sal 10:6; Pr 1:32)7By your favor, O Lord, you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face; I was dismayed. (Dt 31:17; 2 S 5:9; 2 S 24:10; Sal 104:29)8To you, O Lord, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy: (Sal 142:1)9“What profit is there in my death,[4] if I go down to the pit?[5] Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? (Sal 6:5)10Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me! O Lord, be my helper!” (Sal 27:7)11You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, (Ex 15:20; 2 S 6:14; Sal 149:3; Sal 150:4; Jer 31:4; Jer 31:13; Lm 5:15)12that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever! (Sal 16:9)
