Psalms 30

1 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.

I will extol thee, O Jehovah, for thou have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

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

O Jehovah my God, I cried to thee, and thou have healed me.

3 YHWH, You have brought up my soul from Sheol, You have kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit. (Sheol h7585)

O Jehovah, thou have brought up my soul from Sheol. Thou have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

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

Sing praise to Jehovah, O ye sanctified of his, and give thanks to his holiness.

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

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy is in the morning.

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

As for me, I said in my prosperity, I shall never be moved.

7 O YHWH, in Your good pleasure, You have caused strength to remain for my mountain,” You have hidden Your face—I have been troubled.

Thou, Jehovah, of thy favor had made my mountain to stand strong. Thou hid thy face; I was troubled.

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

I cried to thee, O Jehovah, and to Jehovah I made supplication.

9 “What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down to corruption? Does dust thank You? Does it declare Your 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 YHWH, and favor me, O YHWH, be a helper to me.”

Hear, O Jehovah, and have mercy upon me. Jehovah, be thou my helper.

11 You have turned my mourning to dancing for me, You have loosed my sackcloth, And gird me [with] joy.

Thou have turned for me my mourning into dancing. Thou have loosed my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness,

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

to the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Jehovah my God, I will give thanks to thee forever.
