Psalms 30:6-10 in English

⁶ As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

⁷ Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.

⁸ I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah I made supplication:

⁹ What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?

¹⁰ Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper.

⁶ Into thine hands I will commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.

⁷ Thou hast hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.

⁸ I will exult and be glad in thy mercy: for thou hast looked upon mine affliction; thou hast saved my soul from distresses.

⁹ And thou hast not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a wide place.

¹⁰ Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and my belly.

⁶ And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

⁷ LORD, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.

⁶ You have hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.

⁷ I will exult and be glad in your mercy: for you have looked upon my affliction; you have saved my soul from distresses.

⁸ And you have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.

⁹ Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.

⁶ As for me, when I had no troubles, I said to myself, “No one will defeat me!”

⁷ Yahweh, because you were good to me, at first you caused me to be safe as though I was inside MET a mountain. But then I became ill, and I thought that you had turned away from me, and I became afraid.

⁸ Then I called out to you, and I pleaded for you to help me.

⁹ I said, “Yahweh, ◄what will you gain if I die?/ you won't gain anything if I die►MTY. ◄In what way will it benefit you?/it won't benefit you at all► if I go to the place where the dead people are RHQ. Dead people are certainly not able to praise you RHQ, and they are not able to tell others that you are trustworthy RHQ!

¹⁰ Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”

⁶ You have hated them that idly persist in vanities: but I have hoped in the Lord.

⁷ I will exult and be glad in your mercy: for you have looked upon my affliction; you have saved my soul from distresses.

⁸ And you have not shut me up into the hands of the enemy: you have set my feet in a wide place.

⁹ Pity me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with indignation, my soul and by belly.

¹⁰ For my life is spent with grief, and my years with groanings: my strength has been weakened through poverty, and my bones are troubled.

⁶ As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”

⁷ You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

⁸ I cried to you, Yahweh. I made supplication to the Lord:

⁹ “What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

¹⁰ Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper.”

⁶ When things went well for me I said, I will never be moved.

⁷ Lord, by your grace you have kept my mountain strong: when your face was turned from me I was troubled.

⁸ My voice went up to you, O Lord; I made my prayer to the Lord.

⁹ What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the underworld? will the dust give you praise, or be a witness to your help?

¹⁰ Give ear to me, O Lord, and have mercy on me: Lord, be my helper.

¹⁰ Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious unto me; Jehovah, be my helper.

⁶ Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.

⁷ Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:

⁸ I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou best regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.

⁹ And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.

¹⁰ Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:

⁶ When things were going well, I said, “Nothing will ever shake me!”

⁷ Lord, when you showed me your favor I stood as strong as a mountain; when you turned away from me I was terrified.

⁸ I called out to you for help, Lord. I asked the Lord for grace, saying,

⁹ What would you gain if I die, if I go down into the pit of death? Would my dust praise you? Would it tell of your trustworthiness?

¹⁰ Please listen to me, Lord, and be gracious to me! Lord, you are the one who helps me.

⁶ And in my prosperitie I sayde, I shall neuer be moued.

⁷ For thou Lord of thy goodnes hadest made my mountaine to stande strong: but thou didest hide thy face, and I was troubled.

⁸ Then cried I vnto thee, O Lord, and praied to my Lord.

⁹ What profite is there in my blood, when I go downe to the pit? shall the dust giue thankes vnto thee? or shall it declare thy trueth?

¹⁰ Heare, O Lord, and haue mercy vpon me: Lord, be thou mine helper.

⁶ (30-7) Now I had said in my security: 'I shall never be moved.'

⁷ (30-8) Thou hadst established, O LORD, in Thy favour my mountain as a stronghold — Thou didst hide Thy face; I was affrighted.

⁸ (30-9) Unto Thee, O LORD, did I call, and unto the LORD I made supplication:

⁹ (30-10) 'What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? shall it declare Thy truth?

¹⁰ (30-11) Hear, O LORD, and be gracious unto me; LORD, be Thou my helper.'

¹⁰ Hear, O LORD! and have pity upon me! Be thou, LORD! my helper!”

⁶ When all went well, I imagined that never should I be shaken.

⁷ For by your favour, O Lord, you had set me on mountains strong: but you hide your face, and I was confounded.

⁸ Then to you, Lord, I cried, to the Lord I begged for mercy,

⁹ “What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Can you be praised by dust? Can it tell of your faithfulness?

¹⁰ Hear, Lord, and show me your favour, Lord be a helper to me.”
