Psalms 30:6-9 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?

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.

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.

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?

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!

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, 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.

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.

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?

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?

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

⁶ Into thy 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.
