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 [and] Song, [at] the dedication of the house of David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
O LORD my God, I cried to thee, and thou hast healed me.
O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.
Sing to the LORD, O ye saints of his, 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 his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favor [is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning.
6 In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
LORD, by thy favor thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was troubled.
8 To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:
I cried to thee, O LORD; and to the LORD I made 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 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 me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”
Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
11 You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to thee for ever.
