30:1  (A psalm by David for the dedication of the temple.) I will praise you, Lord! You saved me from the grave and kept my enemies from celebrating my death.
30:2  I prayed to you, Lord God, and you healed me,
30:3  saving me from death and the grave.
30:4  Your faithful people, Lord, will praise you with songs and honor your holy name.
30:5  Your anger lasts a little while, but your kindness lasts for a lifetime. At night we may cry, but when morning comes we will celebrate.
30:6  I felt secure and thought, “I'll never be shaken!”
30:7  You, Lord, were my friend, and you made me strong as a mighty mountain. But when you hid your face, I was crushed.
30:8  I prayed to you, Lord, and in my prayer I said,
30:9  “What good will it do you if I am in the grave? Once I have turned to dust, how can I praise you or tell how loyal you are?
30:10  Have pity, Lord! Help!”
30:11  You have turned my sorrow into joyful dancing. No longer am I sad and wearing sackcloth.
30:12  I thank you from my heart, and I will never stop singing your praises, my Lord and my God.
