Psm30:1 [A Psalm; a Song at the Dedication of the House. A Psalm of David]. I Will extol Thee, O LORD, for Thou hast lifted me up, And hast not let my enemies rejoice over me.
Psm30:2 O LORD my God, I cried to Thee for help, and Thou didst heal me.
Psm30:3 O LORD, Thou hast brought up my soul from Sheol; Thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
Psm30:4 Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, And give thanks to His holy name.
Psm30:5 For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy [comes] in the morning.
Psm30:6 Now as for me, I said in my prosperity, "I will never be moved."
Psm30:7 O LORD, by Thy favor Thou hast made my mountain to stand strong; Thou didst hide Thy face, I was dismayed.
Psm30:8 To Thee, O LORD, I called, And to the Lord I made supplication:
Psm30:9 "What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise Thee? Will it declare Thy faithfulness?
Psm30:10 "Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me; O LORD, be Thou my helper."
Psm30:11 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness;
Psm30:12 That [my] soul may sing praise to Thee, and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to Thee forever.
Psm30:13
