←Prev   Psalms 30 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



30:1  I will exalt you, O Lord, because you lifted me up. You did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
30:2  O Lord my God, I cried out to you, and you healed me.
30:3  Lord, you snatched my life from the grave. You kept me alive so I did not go down into the pit.
30:4  Make music to the Lord, you his favored ones, and give thanks when you remember his holiness,
30:5  for we spend a moment under his anger, but we enjoy a lifetime in his favor. In the evening, weeping comes to stay through the night, but in the morning, there is rejoicing!
30:6  But I—I said in my security, “I will never be knocked down.”
30:7  Lord, in your favor you made strength stand like a mountain for me. Then you hid your face. I was terrified.
30:8  To you, O Lord, I call. To the Lord I cry for mercy:
30:9  “What gain is there in shedding my blood, in sending me down to destruction? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your truth?
30:10  Lord, hear and be merciful to me. Lord, be a helper for me.”
30:11  You turned my mourning into dancing. You removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
30:12  so that my whole being may make music to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I thank you forever.
