Psalm 30

New International Version

from Biblica

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

1 I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. 

2 Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me. 

3 You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit. 

4 Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people; praise his holy name. 

5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favour lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. 

6 When I felt secure, I said, ‘I shall never be shaken.’ 

7 Lord, when you favoured me, you made my royal mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed. 

8 To you, Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: 

9 ‘What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness? 

10 Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me; Lord, be my help.’ 

11 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, 

12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. Lord my God, I will praise you for ever.

Psalm 30

La Bible du Semeur

from Biblica

Tu m’as rendu à la vie

1 Cantique pour l’inauguration du Temple. Un psaume de David. 

2 Je te loue, ô Eternel, ╵car tu m’as tiré du gouffre. Tu n’as pas permis ╵que mes ennemis ╵se réjouissent à mes dépens. 

3 Eternel, mon Dieu, je t’ai appelé ╵à mon aide, ╵et tu m’as guéri: 

4 Eternel, tu m’as fait échapper ╵au séjour des morts, tu m’as rendu à la vie, ╵en m’évitant de rejoindre ╵les gens qui descendent ╵au tombeau. 

5 Chantez donc à l’Eternel, ╵vous tous qui lui êtes attachés! Apportez-lui vos louanges! ╵Proclamez sa sainteté! 

6 Son courroux dure un instant, sa faveur est pour la vie. Si, le soir, des pleurs subsistent, au matin, la joie éclate. 

7 Je vivais paisiblement, ╵et je me disais: « Je ne tomberai jamais. » 

8 Eternel, dans ta faveur, ╵tu avais fortifié ╵la montagne où je demeure. Tu t’es détourné de moi, ╵et je fus désemparé. 

9 J’ai crié vers toi, ╵Eternel, et j’ai imploré ta grâce, ╵ô Seigneur: 

10 « Si je descends dans la tombe, si je meurs, quel avantage ╵en retires-tu? Celui qui n’est plus ╵que poussière, ╵peut-il te louer encore, peut-il proclamer ╵ta fidélité? 

11 Ecoute, Eternel, ╵aie pitié de moi, Eternel, viens à mon aide! » 

12 Tu as transformé mes pleurs ╵en une danse de joie, et tu m’as ôté ╵mes habits de deuil ╵pour me revêtir ╵d’un habit de fête, 

13 afin que, de tout mon cœur, ╵et sans me lasser, ╵je te chante. Eternel, mon Dieu, ╵je te louerai à jamais.
