PSALM 30

I will exalt You, Lord, for You rescued me.

You refused to let my enemies triumph over me.

O Lord my God, I cried to You for help,

and You restored my health.

You brought me up from the grave, O Lord.

You kept me from falling into the pit of death.

Sing to the Lord, all you godly ones!

Praise His holy name.

For His anger lasts only a moment,

but His favor lasts a lifetime!

Weeping may last through the night,

but joy comes with the morning.

When I was prosperous, I said,

‘Nothing can stop me now!’

Your favor, O Lord, made me as secure as a mountain.

Then You turned away from me, and I was shattered.

I cried out to You, O Lord.

I begged the Lord for mercy, saying,

‘What will You gain if I die,

if I sink into the grave?

Can my dust praise You?

Can it tell of Your faithfulness?

Hear me, Lord, and have mercy on me.

Help me, O Lord.’

You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing.

You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,

that I might sing praises to You and not be silent.

O Lord my God, I will give You thanks forever!
