Psalms 30

¹ I will extol you, LORD, for you have raised me up,

² LORD my God, I cried to you,

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

⁴ Sing praise to the LORD, you saints of his.

⁵ For his anger is but for a moment. Weeping may stay for the night,

⁶ As for me, I said in my prosperity, “ I shall never be moved.”

⁷ You, LORD, when you favored me, made my mountain stand strong;

⁸ I cried to you, LORD.

⁹ “What profit is there in my destruction, if I go down to the pit?

¹⁰ Hear, LORD, and have mercy on me.

¹¹ You have turned my mourning into dancing for me.

¹² to the end that my heart may sing praise to you, and not be silent.
