Psalms 30

Thanksgiving for deliverance from death.

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

¹I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, And have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

²Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.

³Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

⁴Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.

⁵For 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.

⁶As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."

⁷You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain to stand strong. But when you hid your face, I was troubled.

⁸I cried to you, Yahweh. To Yahweh I made supplication:

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?

¹⁰Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper."

¹¹You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,

¹²To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
