Psalms 30
1 A psalm. A song for the dedication of the house. Of David.
2 I exalt you, LORD, because you lifted me from the depths and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
3 LORD my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me.
4 LORD, you brought my life up from Sheol; you gave me life so I would not go down to the pit.
5 Sing to the LORD, you who are loyal to him, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
6 For his anger lasts only a moment, and his favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may come at night, but in the morning, a shout of joy.
7 In my security I said, “I will never be shaken.”
8 LORD, by your favor you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face, and I was terrified.
9 To you, LORD, I cry; to the Lord I plead.
10 What gain is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?
11 Hear me, LORD, and have compassion on me; LORD, be my helper.
12 You turned my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
13 So that my glory may sing to you and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever.
