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. By David.] I will extol you, YHWH, for you 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.

YHWH my God, I cried to you, and you 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)

YHWH, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You 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 YHWH, you his faithful ones. 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 favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes 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.

You, YHWH, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.

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

I cried to you, YHWH. To YHWH I made petition:

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 destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

10 Hear, O YHWH, and favor me, O YHWH, be a helper to me.”

Hear, YHWH, and have mercy on me. YHWH, be my helper."

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

You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed 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 heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. YHWH my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
