Psalm 30

Psalm 30

1Lord , I will give you honor.

You brought me out of deep trouble.

You didn’t give my enemies the joy of seeing me die.

2Lord my God, I called out to you for help.

And you healed me.

3Lord , you brought me up from the place of the dead.

You kept me from going down into the pit.

4Sing the praises of the Lord , you who are faithful to him.

Praise him, because his name is holy.

5His anger lasts for only a moment.

But his favor lasts for a person’s whole life.

Weeping can stay for the night.

But joy comes in the morning.

6When I felt safe, I said,

“I will always be secure.”

7Lord , when you gave me your help,

you made Mount Zion stand firm.

But when you took away your help,

I was terrified.

8Lord , I called out to you.

I cried to you for mercy.

9I said, “What good will come if I become silent in death?

What good will come if I go down into the grave?

Can the dust of my dead body praise you?

Can it tell how faithful you are?

10Lord , hear me. Have mercy on me.

Lord , help me.”

11You turned my loud crying into dancing.

You removed my clothes of sadness and dressed me with joy.

12So my heart will sing your praises. I can’t keep silent.

Lord , my God, I will praise you forever.
