< 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.
For the end, a Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will exalt thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and not caused mine enemies to rejoice over me.
2 My God YHWH, I have cried to You, And You heal me.
O Lord my God, I cried to thee, and thou didst heal 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, thou hast brought up my soul from Hades, thou hast delivered me from [among] them that 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 to the Lord, ye his saints, and give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For—a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His goodwill, At evening remains weeping, and at morning singing.
For anger is in his wrath, but life in his favour: weeping shall tarry for the evening, but joy shall be in the morning.
6 And I have said in my ease, “I am not moved for all time.
And 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.
O Lord, in thy good pleasure thou didst add strength to my beauty: but thou didst turn away thy face, and I was troubled.
8 To You, O YHWH, I call, And to YHWH I make supplication.
To thee, O Lord, will I cry; and to my God will I make 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 destruction? Shall the dust give praise to thee? or shall it declare thy truth?
10 Hear, O YHWH, and favor me, O YHWH, be a helper to me.”
The Lord heard, and had compassion upon me; the Lord is become my helper.
11 You have turned my mourning to dancing for me, You have loosed my sackcloth, And gird me [with] joy.
Thou hast turned my mourning into joy for me: thou hast rent off 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!
that my glory may sing praise to thee, and I may not be pierced [with sorrow]. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to thee for ever.
