←Prev   Psalms 30 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


30:1  I will praise you, Lord, for you have saved me from my enemies. You refuse to let them triumph over me.
30:2  O Lord my God, I pleaded with you, and you gave me my health again.
30:3  You brought me back from the brink of the grave, from death itself, and here I am alive!
30:4  Oh, sing to him you saints of his; give thanks to his holy name.
30:5  His anger lasts a moment; his favor lasts for life! Weeping may go on all night, but in the morning there is joy.
30:6  In my prosperity I said, “This is forever; nothing can stop me now! The Lord has shown me his favor. He has made me steady as a mountain.” Then, Lord, you turned your face away from me and cut off your river of blessings. Suddenly my courage was gone; I was terrified and panic-stricken.
30:7  In my prosperity I said, “This is forever; nothing can stop me now! The Lord has shown me his favor. He has made me steady as a mountain.” Then, Lord, you turned your face away from me and cut off your river of blessings. Suddenly my courage was gone; I was terrified and panic-stricken.
30:8  I cried to you, O Lord; oh, how I pled:
30:9  “What will you gain, O Lord, from killing me? How can I praise you then to all my friends? How can my dust in the grave speak out and tell the world about your faithfulness?
30:10  Hear me, Lord; oh, have pity and help me.”
30:11  Then he turned my sorrow into joy! He took away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy
30:12  so that I might sing glad praises to the Lord instead of lying in silence in the grave. O Lord my God, I will keep on thanking you forever!
