Psalms 30

PSAL. XXX.

A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.

1I will extol thee, O Yhwh; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. 2O Yhwh my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. 3O Yhwh, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 4Sing unto Yhwh, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
 at…: or, to the memorial.
5For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
 his anger…: Heb. there is but a moment in his anger.
,
 for a night: Heb. in the evening.
,
 joy: Heb. singing.
6And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. 7Yhwh, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
 made…: Heb. settled strength for my mountain.
8I cried to thee, O Yhwh; and unto Yhwh I made supplication. 9What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? 10Hear, O Yhwh, and have mercy upon me: Yhwh, be thou my helper. 11Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; 12To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Yhwh my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.
 my glory: that is, my tongue, or, my soul.
