30:1 A song of David. A song for giving the Temple to the Lord. I will praise you, Lord, because you rescued me. You did not let my enemies laugh at me.
30:2 Lord, my God, I prayed to you. And you healed me.
30:3 You lifted me out of the grave. You spared me from going down where the dead are.
30:4 Sing praises to the Lord, you who belong to him. Praise his holy name.
30:5 His anger lasts only a moment. But his kindness lasts for a lifetime. Crying may last for a night. But joy comes in the morning.
30:6 When I felt safe, I said, “I will never fail.”
30:7 Lord, in your kindness you made my mountain safe. But when you turned away, I was frightened.
30:8 I called to you, Lord. I asked you to have mercy on me.
30:9 I said, “What good will it do if I die or if I go down to the grave? Dust cannot praise you. It cannot speak about your truth.
30:10 Lord, hear me and be merciful to me. Lord, help me.”
30:11 You changed my sorrow into dancing. You took away my rough cloth, which shows sadness, and clothed me in happiness.
30:12 I will sing to you and not be silent. Lord, my God, I will praise you forever.
