Psalm 30 (WEBP)

[1] I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, 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!

Psalm 30:3 Sheol is the place of the dead.

Psalm 30 (KJVS)

[1] I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, And hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
[2] O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
[3] O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
[4] Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
[5] For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
[6] And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
[7] Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: Thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
[8] I cried to thee, O Lord; And unto the Lord I made supplication.
[9] What profit is there in my blood, When I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? Shall it declare thy truth?
[10] Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper.
[11] Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: Thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
[12] To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
