Psalm 30

A Psalm. A Song for the Dedication of the Temple. By David.

 ^30:1I will extol you, Yahweh, for you have raised me up,
      And have not made my foes to rejoice over me.

 ^30:2Yahweh my God, I cried to you, and you have healed me.

 ^30:3Yahweh, you have brought up my soul from Sheol.
      You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

 ^30:4Sing praise to Yahweh, you saints of his.
      Give thanks to his holy name.

 ^30:5For his anger is but for a moment;
      His favor is for a lifetime.

 Weeping may stay for the night,
      But joy comes in the morning.

 ^30:6As for me, I said in my prosperity,
      "I shall never be moved."

 ^30:7You, Yahweh, when you favored me, made my mountain to stand strong.
      But when you hid your face, I was troubled.

 ^30:8I cried to you, Yahweh.
      To Yahweh I made supplication:

 ^30:9"What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit?
      Shall the dust praise you? Shall it declare your truth?

 ^30:10Hear, Yahweh, and have mercy on me.
      Yahweh, be my helper."

 ^30:11You have turned my mourning into dancing for me.
      You have removed my sackcloth, and clothed me with gladness,
      ^30:12To the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent.

 Yahweh my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
