1 (30-1) <Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy.> (30-2) In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.
1
In you, O Lord, I seek refuge; do not let me ever be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me.
2 (30-3) Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.
2
Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily. Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me.
3 (30-4) For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
3
You are indeed my rock and my fortress; for your name's sake lead me and guide me,
4 (30-5) Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector.
4
take me out of the net that is hidden for me, for you are my refuge.
5 (30-6) Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
5
Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God.
6 (30-7) Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:
6
You hate those who pay regard to worthless idols, but I trust in the Lord.
7 (30-8) I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou hast regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
7
I will exult and rejoice in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have taken heed of my adversities,
8 (30-9) And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
8
and have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; you have set my feet in a broad place.
9 (30-10) Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
9
Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress; my eye wastes away from grief, my soul and body also.
10 (30-11) For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
10
For my life is spent with sorrow, and my years with sighing; my strength fails because of my misery, and my bones waste away.
11 (30-12) I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
11
I am the scorn of all my adversaries, a horror to my neighbors, an object of dread to my acquaintances; those who see me in the street flee from me.
12 (30-13) I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.
12
I have passed out of mind like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel.
13 (30-14) For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.
13
For I hear the whispering of many— terror all around!— as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life.
14 (30-15) But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.
14
But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, "You are my God."
15 (30-16) My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.
15
My times are in your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.
16 (30-17) Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.
16
Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love.
17 (30-18) Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell.
17
Do not let me be put to shame, O Lord, for I call on you; let the wicked be put to shame; let them go dumbfounded to Sheol.
18 (30-19) Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse.
18
Let the lying lips be stilled that speak insolently against the righteous with pride and contempt.
19 (30-20) O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men.
19
O how abundant is your goodness that you have laid up for those who fear you, and accomplished for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of everyone!
20 (30-21) Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the disturbance of men. Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle form the contradiction of tongues.
20
In the shelter of your presence you hide them from human plots; you hold them safe under your shelter from contentious tongues.
21 (30-22) Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
21
Blessed be the Lord, for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me when I was beset as a city under siege.
22 (30-23) But I said in the excess of my mind: I am cast away from before thy eyes. Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried to thee.
22
I had said in my alarm, "I am driven far from your sight." But you heard my supplications when I cried out to you for help.
23 (30-24) O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
23
Love the Lord, all you his saints. The Lord preserves the faithful, but abundantly repays the one who acts haughtily.
24 (30-25) Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
24
Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord.
