30:1 A psalm. A song for the dedication of the Temple. Of David.
30:2 I praise you, Lord, for you raised me up and did not let my enemies rejoice over me.
30:3 O Lord, my God, I cried out to you for help and you healed me.
30:4 Lord, you brought my soul up from Sheol; you let me live, from going down to the pit.
30:5 Sing praise to the Lord, you faithful; give thanks to his holy memory.
30:6 For his anger lasts but a moment; his favor a lifetime. At dusk weeping comes for the night; but at dawn there is rejoicing.
30:7 Complacent, I once said, “I shall never be shaken.”
30:8 Lord, you showed me favor, established for me mountains of virtue. But when you hid your face I was struck with terror.
30:9 To you, Lord, I cried out; with the Lord I pleaded for mercy:
30:10 “What gain is there from my lifeblood, from my going down to the grave? Does dust give you thanks or declare your faithfulness?
30:11 Hear, O Lord, have mercy on me; Lord, be my helper.”
30:12 You changed my mourning into dancing; you took off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness.
30:13 So that my glory may praise you and not be silent. O Lord, my God, forever will I give you thanks.
