1 Psalm 30 You Have Turned My Mourning into Dancing A Psalm. A Song at the Dedication of the House. Of David.I will exalt You, O Yahweh, for You have lifted me up,And have not let my enemies be glad over me.
2 O Yahweh my God,I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
3 O Yahweh, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;You have kept me alive, 30:3Some mss from among those who go down that I would not go down to the pit.
4 Sing praise to Yahweh, you His holy ones,And give thanks for the remembrance of His holyname.
5 For His anger is but for a moment,His favor is for a lifetime;Weeping may last for the night,But a shout of joycomesin the morning.
6 ¶Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,“I will never be shaken.”
7 O Yahweh, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
8 To You, O Yahweh, I called,And to the Lord I made supplication:
9 “What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit?Will the dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?
10 ¶“Hear, O Yahweh, and be gracious to me;O Yahweh, be my helper.”
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,
12 Thatmy 30:12Or soul glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.O Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
