30:1 A psalm. A song for the dedication of the temple. Of David.
30:2 I will exalt you, O Lord, for you have raised me out of the depths and have not let my enemies exult over me.
30:3 O Lord, my God, I called to you and you healed me.
30:4 O Lord, you lifted me up from the netherworld; you saved me from sinking into the pit.
30:5 Sing praise to the Lord, O you his saints; give thanks to his holy name.
30:6 For his anger lasts for only a moment, while his goodwill endures for a lifetime. Weeping may last throughout the night, but at daybreak there is rejoicing.
30:7 In time of good fortune, I said, “Nothing can ever sway me.”
30:8 O Lord, in your goodness you established me as an impregnable mountain; however, when you hid your face, I was filled with terror.
30:9 To you, O Lord, I cried out, and I implored my God for mercy:
30:10 “What advantage would my death provide if I descend into the pit? Can the dust praise you? Can it proclaim your faithfulness?
30:11 Listen, O Lord, and have mercy on me; O Lord, be my helper.”
30:12 You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have taken away my sackcloth and clothed me with joy.
30:13 My heart will therefore sing in unceasing praise to you; O Lord, my God, I will praise you forever.
