Psalm Chapter 30 Back NextPsalm 30 A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By
David.
{30:1} I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.
{30:2} Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.
{30:3} Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from
Sheol. You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
{30:4} Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his. Give thanks to his holy name.
{30:5} For 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.
{30:6} As for me, I said in my prosperity, "I shall never be moved."
{30:7} You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong; but when you hid your face, I was troubled.
{30:8} I cried to you, Yahweh. To Yahweh I made supplication:
{30:9} "What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit? Shall the
dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?
{30:10} Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me. Yahweh, be my helper."
{30:11} You have turned my mourning into dancing for me. You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
{30:12} To the end that my
heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent. Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
