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.
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.
2 My God YHWH, I have cried to You, And You heal me.
O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You 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 LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit. (Sheol h7585)
4 Sing praise to YHWH, you His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,
Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name.
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 fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
6 And I have said in my ease, “I am not moved for all time.
In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”
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.
O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
8 To You, O YHWH, I call, And to YHWH I make supplication.
To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:
9 “What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down to corruption? Does dust thank You? Does it declare Your truth?
“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
10 Hear, O YHWH, and favor me, O YHWH, be a helper to me.”
Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”
11 You have turned my mourning to dancing for me, You have loosed my sackcloth, And gird me [with] joy.
You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12 So that glory praises You, and is not silent, O YHWH, my God, I thank You for all time!
that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
