< Psalms 30 >

1 A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. [A Psalm] of David. I will extol thee, O Jehovah; for thou hast raised me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
A PSALM. A SONG OF THE DEDICATION OF THE HOUSE OF DAVID. I exalt You, O YHWH, For You have drawn me up, And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
2 O Jehovah my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
My God YHWH, I have cried to You, And You heal me.
3 O Jehovah, thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
YHWH, You have brought up my soul from Sheol, You have kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Sing praise unto Jehovah, O ye saints of his, And give thanks to his holy memorial [name].
Sing praise to YHWH, you His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,
5 For his anger is but for a moment; His favor is for a life-time: Weeping may tarry for the night, But joy [cometh] in the morning.
For—a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His goodwill, At evening remains weeping, and at morning singing.
6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
And I have said in my ease, “I am not moved for all time.
7 Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor hadst made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face; I was troubled.
O YHWH, in Your good pleasure, You have caused strength to remain for my mountain,” You have hidden Your face—I have been troubled.
8 I cried to thee, O Jehovah; And unto Jehovah I made supplication:
To You, O YHWH, I call, And to YHWH I make 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?
“What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down to corruption? Does dust thank You? Does it declare Your truth?
10 Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me: Jehovah, be thou my helper.
Hear, O YHWH, and favor me, O YHWH, be a helper to me.”
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
You have turned my mourning to dancing for me, You have loosed my sackcloth, And gird me [with] joy.
12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
So that glory praises You, and is not silent, O YHWH, my God, I thank You for all time!
