Psalms 30
[1]
and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
[2] Yahweh my God, I cried to you,
and you have healed me.
[3] Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol.
You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
[4] Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his.
Give thanks to his holy name.
[5] For his anger is but for a moment.
His favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may stay for the night,
but joy comes in the morning.
[6] As for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I shall never be moved.”
[7] You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong;
but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
[8] I cried to you, Yahweh.
I made supplication to the Lord:
[9] “What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit?
Shall the dust praise you?
Shall it declare your truth?
[10] Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me.
Yahweh, be my helper.”
[11] You have turned my mourning into dancing for me.
You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
[12] to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent.
Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
