Psalms 30

¹A psalm; a song for the dedication of the house. Of David. I will exalt you, O Yahweh, because you have drawn me up, and have not made my enemies rejoice over me. ²O Yahweh, my God, I cried for help to you, and you healed me. ³O Yahweh, you have brought my life up from Sheol. You preserved me alive from among those going down to the pit. ⁴Sing praises to Yahweh, you his faithful ones, and give thanks ⌞to his holy fame⌟. ⁵For there is a moment in his anger; there is a lifetime in his favor. Weeping lodges for the evening, but in the morning comes rejoicing. ⁶But as for me, I had said in my prosperity, “I shall not be moved ever.” ⁷O Yahweh, by your favor you caused my strong mountain to stand. You hid your face. I was bewildered. ⁸To you, O Yahweh, I called, and to the Lord I pleaded for grace saying, ⁹“What gain is there in my ⌞death⌟, in my going down into the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness? ¹⁰“O Yahweh, hear and be gracious to me. O Yahweh, be my helper.” ¹¹You have turned my wailing into my dancing. You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy ¹²so that ⌞I⌟ may sing praises to you and not be quiet. O Yahweh, my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
