A Psalm of David.
[30:1] I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
[30:2] O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me.
[30:3] O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.
[30:4] Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name.
[30:5] For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
[30:6] As for me, I said in my prosperity, “I shall never be moved.”
[30:7] By your favor, O Lord, you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face; I was dismayed.
[30:8] To you, O Lord, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy:
[30:9] “What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?
[30:10] Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me! O Lord, be my helper!”
[30:11] You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
[30:12] that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
