< Psalms 30 >

1 A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed 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 LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
My God YHWH, I have cried to You, And You heal me.
3 O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into 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 to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.
Sing praise to YHWH, you His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,
5 For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
For—a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His goodwill, At evening remains weeping, and at morning singing.
6 In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”
And I have said in my ease, “I am not moved for all time.
7 O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
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 To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:
To You, O YHWH, I call, And to YHWH I make supplication.
9 “What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
“What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down to corruption? Does dust thank You? Does it declare Your truth?
10 Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”
Hear, O YHWH, and favor me, O YHWH, be a helper to me.”
11 You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
You have turned my mourning to dancing for me, You have loosed my sackcloth, And gird me [with] joy.
12 that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
So that glory praises You, and is not silent, O YHWH, my God, I thank You for all time!
