Psalms 30

   |   

Thanksgiving for Deliverance from Death.

A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David.

1 I will (a)extol You, O Lord, for You have (b)lifted me up,
And have not let my (c)enemies rejoice over me.
2 O Lord my God,
I (d)cried to You for help, and You (e)healed me.
3 O Lord, You have (f)brought up my soul from [a]Sheol;
You have kept me alive, [b]that I would not (g)go down to the pit.
4 (h)Sing praise to the Lord, you (i)His godly ones,
And (j)give thanks to His holy [c](k)name.
5 For (l)His anger is but for a moment,
His (m)favor is for a lifetime;
Weeping may (n)last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

6 Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,
"I will (o)never be moved."
7 O Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
You (p)hid Your face, I was dismayed.
8 To You, O Lord, I called,
And to the Lord I made supplication:
9 "What profit is there in my blood, if I (q)go down to the pit?
Will the (r)dust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

10 "(s)Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me;
O Lord, be my (t)helper."
11 You have turned for me (u)my mourning into dancing;
You have (v)loosed my sackcloth and girded me with (w)gladness,
12 That my [d](x)soul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will (y)give thanks to You forever.
