Psalms 30

1 I will extol you, O LORD; for you have lifted me up, and have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

A PSALM. A SONG OF THE DEDICATION OF THE HOUSE OF DAVID. I exalt You, O YHWH, For You have drawn me up, And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.

2 O LORD my God, I cried unto you, and you have healed me.

My God YHWH, I have cried to You, And You heal me.

3 O LORD, you have brought up my soul from the grave: you have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. (Sheol h7585)

YHWH, You have brought up my soul from Sheol, You have kept me alive, From going down [to] the pit. (Sheol h7585)

4 Sing unto the LORD, O all of you saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

Sing praise to YHWH, you His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,

5 For his anger endures but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

For—a moment [is] in His anger, Life [is] in His goodwill, At evening remains weeping, and at morning singing.

6 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

And I have said in my ease, “I am not moved for all time.

7 LORD, by your favour you have made my mountain to stand strong: you did hide your face, and I was troubled.

O YHWH, in Your good pleasure, You have caused strength to remain for my mountain,” You have hidden Your face—I have been troubled.

8 I cried to you, O LORD; and unto the LORD I made supplication.

To You, O YHWH, I call, And to YHWH I make supplication.

9 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise you? shall it declare your truth?

“What gain [is] in my blood? In my going down to corruption? Does dust thank You? Does it declare Your truth?

10 Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me: LORD, be you my helper.

Hear, O YHWH, and favor me, O YHWH, be a helper to me.”

11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing: you have put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

You have turned my mourning to dancing for me, You have loosed my sackcloth, And gird me [with] joy.

12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to you, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks unto you for ever.

So that glory praises You, and is not silent, O YHWH, my God, I thank You for all time!
