1(30) For the end, a Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will exalt you, O Lord; for you have lifted me up, and not caused my enemies to rejoice over me.
1A Psalm by David. Ascribe to Yahweh, you sons of the mighty, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
2O Lord my God, I cried to you, and you did heal me.
2Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Worship Yahweh in holy array.
3O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Hades, you have delivered me from [among] them that go down to the pit.
3Yahweh’s voice is on the waters. The God of glory thunders, even Yahweh on many waters.
4Sing to the Lord, you⌃ his saints, and give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness.
4Yahweh’s voice is powerful. Yahweh’s voice is full of majesty.
5For anger is in his wrath, but life in his favor: weeping shall wait for the evening, but joy shall be in the morning.
5Yahweh’s voice breaks the cedars. Yes, Yahweh breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
6And I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
6He makes them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young, wild ox.
7O Lord, in your good pleasure you did add strength to my beauty: but you did turn away your face, and I was troubled.
7Yahweh’s voice strikes with flashes of lightning.
8To you, O Lord, will I cry; and to my God will I make supplication.
8Yahweh’s voice shakes the wilderness. Yahweh shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to destruction? Shall the dust give praise to you? or shall it declare your truth?
9Yahweh’s voice makes the deer calve, and strips the forests bare. In his temple everything says, “Glory!”
10The Lord heard, and had compassion upon me; the Lord is become my helper.
10Yahweh sat enthroned at the Flood. Yes, Yahweh sits as King forever.
11You have turned my mourning into joy for me: you have torn off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
11Yahweh will give strength to his people. Yahweh will bless his people with peace.
