Psalms 30
1I will exalt you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up and have not allowed my enemies to rejoice over me. 1
2Yahweh my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me. 1
3Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you have kept me alive from going down to the grave. 1
4Sing praises to Yahweh, you his faithful people! Give thanks when you remember his holiness. 1
5For his anger is only for a moment; but his favor is for a lifetime. 1 Weeping comes for a night, but joy comes in the morning. 1
6In confidence I said, “I will never be shaken.” 1
7Yahweh, by your favor you established me as a strong mountain; but when you hid your face, I was troubled. 1
8I cried to you, Yahweh, and sought favor from my Lord! 1
9What advantage is there in my death, if I go down to the grave? Will the dust praise you? Will it declare your trustworthiness? 1
10Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me! Yahweh, be my helper. 1
11You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness. 1
12So now my glory will sing praise to you and not be silent; Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
