< Psalms 30 >

1 “A psalm, a song at the dedication of the temple, of David.” I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not suffered my enemies to rejoice over me.
I will extol thee, O YHWH; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God, I cried loudly unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
O YHWH my Elohim, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O Lord, thou hast brought up from the nether world my soul: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)
O YHWH, 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 unto the Lord, O ye his pious ones, and give thanks to the memorial of his holiness.
Sing unto YHWH, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger is momentary, [but] life is in his favor: in the evening [cometh] weeping to stay for a night, but in the morning, there is joyful song.
For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6 And I had said indeed in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.
And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
7 Lord, by thy favor hadst thou caused my mountain to stand in strength: thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was terrified.
YHWH, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
8 Unto thee, O Lord, will I call; and unto the Lord will I make supplication.
I cried to thee, O YHWH; and unto YHWH I made supplication.
9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the grave? Shall the dust thank thee? shall it announce thy truth?
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, O Lord, and be gracious unto me: Lord, be thou a helper unto me.
Hear, O YHWH, and have mercy upon me: YHWH, be thou my helper.
11 Thou hast changed my mourning into dancing for me; thou hast loosened my sack-cloth, and girded me with joy.
Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
12 To the end that my glorious soul may sing praise to thee, and never be silent. O Lord my God, for ever will I give thanks unto thee.
To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O YHWH my Elohim, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
