Psalms 30

Thanksgiving for Rescue from Death.

A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David.

1 I will ^aexalt You, Lord, for You have ^blifted me up,
And have not let my ^cenemies rejoice over me.
2 Lord my God,
I ^dcried to You for help, and You ^ehealed me.
3 Lord, You have ^fbrought up my soul from ^{▼▼I.e., the netherworld}Sheol;
You have kept me alive, ^{▼▼Some mss from among those who go down}that I would not ⁱgo down to the pit.
4 ^jSing praise to the Lord, you ^kHis godly ones,
And ^lpraise the mention of His holiness.
5 For ^mHis anger is but for a moment,
His ⁿfavor is for a lifetime;
Weeping may ^olast for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

6 Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I will ^pnever be moved.”
7 Lord, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
You ^qhid Your face, I was dismayed.
8 To You, Lord, I called,
And to the Lord I pleaded for compassion:
9 “What gain is there in my blood, if I ^rgo down to the pit?
Will the ^sdust praise You? Will it declare Your faithfulness?

10 “ ^tHear, Lord, and be gracious to me;
Lord, be my ^uhelper.”
11 You have turned ^vmy mourning into dancing for me;
You have ^wuntied my sackcloth and encircled me with ^xjoy,
12 That my ^{▼▼Lit glory
,} ^zsoul may sing praise to You and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will ^aagive thanks to You forever.
