Psalm 30

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. Begin Abide·
2
O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me. Begin Abide·
3
O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit. Begin Abide·
4
Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name. Begin Abide·
5
For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning. Begin Abide·
6
In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.” Begin Abide·
7
O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed. Begin Abide·
8
To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy: Begin Abide·
9
“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness? Begin Abide·
10
Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.” Begin Abide·
11
You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, Begin Abide·
12
that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever. Begin Abide·
