Psalms 30

1 A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David’s house. I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies 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 have cried to thee, and then hast healed me.

My God YHWH, I have cried to You, And You heal me.

3 Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down 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 ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.

Sing praise to YHWH, you His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,

5 For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.

For—a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His goodwill, At evening remains weeping, and at morning singing.

6 And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.

And I have said in my ease, “I am not moved for all time.

7 O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became 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 To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.

To You, O YHWH, I call, And to YHWH I make supplication.

9 What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or 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 The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.

Hear, O YHWH, and favor me, O YHWH, be a helper to me.”

11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed 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 to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.

So that glory praises You, and is not silent, O YHWH, my God, I thank You for all time!
