Psalms 30
Psalm 30[a]
A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.[b] Of David.
1 I will exalt(a) you, Lord,
for you lifted me out of the depths(b)
and did not let my enemies gloat over me.(c)
2 Lord my God, I called to you for help,(d)
and you healed me.(e)
3 You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;(f)
you spared me from going down to the pit.(g)
4 Sing(h) the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;(i)
praise his holy name.(j)
5 For his anger(k) lasts only a moment,(l)
but his favor lasts a lifetime;(m)
weeping(n) may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.(o)
6 When I felt secure, I said,
"I will never be shaken."(p)
7 Lord, when you favored me,
you made my royal mountain[c] stand firm;
but when you hid your face,(q)
I was dismayed.
8 To you, Lord, I called;
to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9 "What is gained if I am silenced,
if I go down to the pit?(r)
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?(s)
10 Hear,(t) Lord, and be merciful to me;(u)
Lord, be my help.(v)"
11 You turned my wailing(w) into dancing;(x)
you removed my sackcloth(y) and clothed me with joy,(z)
12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise(aa) you forever.(ab)
