Psalms 30

World English Bible British Edition · Berean Standard Bible

30:1
I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up,
A Psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me.
30:2
LORD my God, I cried to you,
O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
30:3
LORD, you have brought up my soul from Sheol.
O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit.
30:4
Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of his.
Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name (note: Or and praise the memorial of His holiness; see Exodus 3:15.).
30:5
For his anger is but for a moment.
For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.
30:6
As for me, I said in my prosperity,
In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”
30:7
You, LORD, when you favoured me, made my mountain stand strong;
O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
30:8
I cried to you, LORD.
To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy:
30:9
“What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit?
“What gain is there in my bloodshed (note: Or in my destruction), in my descent to the Pit (note: Or to corruption)? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness?
30:10
Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me.
Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.”
30:11
You have turned my mourning into dancing for me.
You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
30:12
to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent.
that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
