Psalm 30

A psalm; a song for the dedication of the temple.  A psalm of David.

Jehovah, with praise may your name be exalted,
because you have rescued me, LORD;
you haven't let enemies brag of my downfall.
I cried and my health's been restored.

You brought me up out from the realm of the buried;
from those in the pit, saved my soul.
Sing praise to Jehovah, you faithful and holy,
remember his name to extol.
​
His anger is fleeting and lasts but a moment,
his favor — a lifetime — goes on.
The tears you are weeping may last for an evening,
but joy will arrive with the dawn.

When I felt secure, I said, Nothing can stop me.
Your favor, LORD, made me feel blessed;
you made me stand firm and as strong as a mountain — 
but when you hid I was distressed. 

I cried out to you, LORD, and begged for your mercy:
​What profit is gained in my death?
If I'm in the grave, will my dust choose to praise you?
Declaring your truth without breath?


LORD, hear me, be gracious; O LORD, be my helper.
LORD, you've turned my mourning to dance;
exchanging my sackcloth for garments of gladness,
reversing my whole circumstance.

So, let my heart sing and my tongue not be silent,
forever will I give you praise;
O LORD, God Jehovah, I thank you in earnest,
​and will for the rest of my days.
