< 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 at the Dedication of the House; of David. I will extol thee, O LORD, for Thou hast raised me up, and hast not suffered 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 unto 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 broughtest up my soul from the nether-world; Thou didst keep 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 unto the LORD, O ye His godly ones, and give thanks to 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 but for a moment, His favour is for a life-time; weeping may tarry for the night, but joy cometh in the morning.
6 And I have said in my ease, “I am not moved for all time.
Now I had said in my security: '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 hadst established, O LORD, in Thy favour my mountain as a stronghold — Thou didst hide Thy face; I was affrighted.
8 To You, O YHWH, I call, And to YHWH I make supplication.
Unto Thee, O LORD, did I call, and unto the LORD 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 LORD, and be gracious unto me; LORD, 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 didst turn for me my mourning into dancing; Thou didst loose my sackcloth, and gird me with gladness;
12 So that glory praises You, and is not silent, O YHWH, my God, I thank You for all time!
So that my glory may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent; O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto Thee for ever.
