←Prev   Psalms 30 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



30:1  I exalt you, Lord, because you pulled me up; you didn’t let my enemies celebrate over me.
30:2  Lord, my God, I cried out to you for help, and you healed me.
30:3  Lord, you brought me up from the grave, brought me back to life from among those going down to the pit.
30:4  You who are faithful to the Lord, sing praises to him; give thanks to his holy name!
30:5  His anger lasts for only a second, but his favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay all night, but by morning, joy!
30:6  When I was comfortable, I said, “I will never stumble.”
30:7  Because it pleased you, Lord, you made me a strong mountain. But then you hid your presence. I was terrified.
30:8  I cried out to you, Lord. I begged my Lord for mercy:
30:9  “What is to be gained by my spilled blood, by my going down into the pit? Does dust thank you? Does it proclaim your faithfulness?
30:10  Lord, listen and have mercy on me! Lord, be my helper!”
30:11  You changed my mourning into dancing. You took off my funeral clothes and dressed me up in joy
30:12  so that my whole being might sing praises to you and never stop. Lord, my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
