Psalms 30

¹I will extol You, O Lord , for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my foes rejoice over me.

²O Lord my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me.

³O Lord , You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

⁴Sing praise to the Lord , you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.

⁵For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning.

⁶Now in my prosperity I said,
“I shall never be moved.”

⁷Lord , by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong; You hid Your face, and I was troubled.

⁸I cried out to You, O Lord ;
And to the Lord I made supplication:

⁹“What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?

¹⁰Hear, O Lord , and have mercy on me; Lord , be my helper!”

¹¹You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,

¹²To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
