30:1 I praise you, Lord, because you have saved me and kept my enemies from gloating over me.
30:2 I cried to you for help, O Lord my God, and you healed me;
30:3 you kept me from the grave. I was on my way to the depths below, but you restored my life.
30:4 Sing praise to the Lord, all his faithful people! Remember what the Holy One has done, and give him thanks!
30:5 His anger lasts only a moment, his goodness for a lifetime. Tears may flow in the night, but joy comes in the morning.
30:6 I felt secure and said to myself, “I will never be defeated.”
30:7 You were good to me, Lord; you protected me like a mountain fortress. But then you hid yourself from me, and I was afraid.
30:8 I called to you, Lord; I begged for your help:
30:9 “What will you gain from my death? What profit from my going to the grave? Are dead people able to praise you? Can they proclaim your unfailing goodness?
30:10 Hear me, Lord, and be merciful! Help me, Lord!”
30:11 You have changed my sadness into a joyful dance; you have taken away my sorrow and surrounded me with joy.
30:12 So I will not be silent; I will sing praise to you. Lord, you are my God; I will give you thanks forever.
