30:1 [A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.] I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up and have 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 have brought up my soul from Sheol; you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit. 30:4 Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. 30:5 For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry 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 favor, O LORD, you made my mountain stand strong; you hid your face; I was dismayed. 30:8 To you, O LORD, I cry, and to the Lord I plead for mercy: 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 merciful to me! O LORD, be my helper!" 30:11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, 30:12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
