< Psalms 30 >
1 A Psalm [and] Song, [at] the dedication of the house of David. I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
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.
2 O LORD my God, I cried to thee, and thou hast healed me.
My God YHWH, I have cried to You, And You heal me.
3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol )
YHWH, You have brought up my soul from Sheol, You have kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit. (Sheol )
4 Sing to the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
Sing praise to YHWH, you His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,
5 For his anger [endureth but] a moment; in his favor [is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning.
For—a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His goodwill, At evening remains weeping, and at morning singing.
6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
And I have said in my ease, “I am not moved for all time.
7 LORD, by thy favor thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, [and] I was troubled.
O YHWH, in Your good pleasure, You have caused strength to remain for my mountain,” You have hidden Your face—I have been troubled.
8 I cried to thee, O LORD; and to the LORD I made supplication.
To You, O YHWH, I call, And to YHWH I make supplication.
9 What profit [is there] in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
“What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down to corruption? Does dust thank You? Does it declare Your truth?
10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be thou my helper.
Hear, O YHWH, and favor me, O YHWH, be a helper to me.”
11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
You have turned my mourning to dancing for me, You have loosed my sackcloth, And gird me [with] joy.
12 To the end that [my] glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to thee for ever.
So that glory praises You, and is not silent, O YHWH, my God, I thank You for all time!
