Psalms 30

You Turned My Mourning into Dancing

1 A Psalm. A Song for the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me. 2 O LORD my God, {I cried} to You for help, and You healed me. 3 O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit. 4 Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and give thanks to His holy name. ^{▼▼Or to the memorial of His holiness (see Exodus 3:15)} 5 For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy [comes] in the morning. 6 In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.” 7 O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain {stand} strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed. 8 To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord {for mercy} : 9 “What gain is in the shedding of my blood, ^{▼▼Or in my destruction} in my descent to the Pit? ^{▼▼Or to corruption} Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness? 10 Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.” 11 You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, 12 that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
