Psalms 30

Psalm 30

1I will honor you highly, O Lord ,

because you have pulled me out ⌞of the pit⌟

and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

2O Lord my God,

I cried out to you for help,

and you healed me.

3O Lord , you brought me up from the grave.

You called me back to life

from among those who had gone into the pit.

4Make music to praise the Lord , you faithful people who belong to him.

Remember his holiness by giving thanks.

5His anger lasts only a moment.

His favor lasts a lifetime.

Weeping may last for the night,

but there is a song of joy in the morning.

6When all was well with me, I said,

“I will never be shaken.”

7O Lord , by your favor you have made my mountain stand firm.

When you hid your face, I was terrified.

8I will cry out to you, O Lord .

I will plead to the Lord for mercy:

9“How will you profit if my blood is shed,

if I go into the pit?

Will the dust ⌞of my body⌟ give thanks to you?

Will it tell about your truth?”

10Hear, O Lord , and have pity on me!

O Lord , be my helper!

11You have changed my sobbing into dancing.

You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy

12so that my soul may praise you with music and not be silent.[#30:12 Or “glory.”]

O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
