Psa30

Psalms – Chapter 30

¹A psalm. A song for the dedication of the Temple. Of David.

I

²I praise you, LORD, for you raised me up

and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.

³O LORD, my God,

I cried out to you for help and you healed me.

⁴LORD, you brought my soul up from Sheol;

you let me live, from going down to the pit.

II

⁵Sing praise to the LORD, you faithful;

give thanks to his holy memory.

⁶For his anger lasts but a moment;

his favor a lifetime.

At dusk weeping comes for the night;

but at dawn there is rejoicing.

III

⁷Complacent, I once said,

“I shall never be shaken.”

⁸LORD, you showed me favor,

established for me mountains of virtue.

But when you hid your face

I was struck with terror.

⁹To you, LORD, I cried out;

with the Lord I pleaded for mercy:

¹⁰“What gain is there from my lifeblood,

from my going down to the grave?

Does dust give you thanks

or declare your faithfulness?

¹¹Hear, O LORD, have mercy on me;

LORD, be my helper.”

IV

¹²You changed my mourning into dancing;

you took off my sackcloth

and clothed me with gladness.

¹³So that my glory may praise you

and not be silent.

O LORD, my God,

forever will I give you thanks.
