30:1 A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt you, O LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.
30:2 O LORD my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.
30:3 O LORD, you brought me up from the grave; you spared me from going down into the pit.
30:4 Sing to the LORD, you saints of his; praise his holy name.
30:5 For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
30:6 When I felt secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.”
30:7 O LORD, when you favored me, you made my mountain stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.
30:8 To you, O LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy:
30:9 “What gain is there in my destruction, in my going down into the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
30:10 Hear, O LORD, and be merciful to me; O LORD, be my help.”
30:11 You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
30:12 that my heart may sing to you and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.
30:1 I extol You, O Jehovah, for You have drawn me up / And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
30:2 O Jehovah my God, / I cried out to You, / And You healed me.
30:3 O Jehovah, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; / You have preserved me alive that I would not go down into the pit.
30:4 Sing psalms to Jehovah, you who are His faithful ones; / And praise His holy memorial.
30:5 For His anger lasts but a moment, / His favor, a lifetime; / Weeping may linger in the evening, / But a ringing shout goes up in the morning.
30:6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, / I will never be shaken.
30:7 O Jehovah, by Your favor You had made my mountain stand strong. / You hid Your face; I was troubled.
30:8 To You, O Jehovah, I called out; / And to Jehovah I made my supplication.
30:9 What profit is there in my blood if I go down into the pit? / Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?
30:10 Hear, O Jehovah, and be gracious to me. / O Jehovah, be my help.
30:11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; / You have loosened my sackcloth / And girded me with rejoicing,
30:12 That my glory might sing psalms to You and not be silent. / O Jehovah my God, I will praise You forever.
