30:1 A Psalm. A Song at the dedication of the temple. Of David. I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up, and did not let my foes rejoice over me.
30:2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you have healed me.
30:3 O Lord, you brought up my soul from Sheol, restored me to life from among those gone down to the Pit.
30:4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his faithful ones, and give thanks to his holy name.
30:5 For his anger is but for a moment; his favour is for a lifetime. Weeping may linger for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
30:6 As for me, I said in my prosperity, ‘I shall never be moved.’
30:7 By your favour, O Lord, you had established me as a strong mountain; you hid your face; I was dismayed.
30:8 To you, O Lord, I cried, and to the Lord I made supplication:
30:9 ‘What profit is there in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it tell of your faithfulness?
30:10 Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me! O Lord, be my helper!’
30:11 You have turned my mourning into dancing; you have taken off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
30:12 so that my soul may praise you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you for ever.
