Psalms 30

1 I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my foes rejoice over me. 2 O Lord my God, I cried out to You,
And You healed me. 3 O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave;
You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 4 Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. 5 For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for life;
Weeping may endure for a night,
But joy comes in the morning. 6 Now in my prosperity I said,
"I shall never be moved." 7 Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain stand strong;
You hid Your face, and I was troubled. 8 I cried out to You, O Lord;
And to the Lord I made supplication: 9 "What profit is there in my blood,
When I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You?
Will it declare Your truth? 10 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy on me;
Lord, be my helper!" 11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, 12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
