Psalms 30

^{Verse 1}I will exalt You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up and have not allowed my foes to rejoice over me. ^{Verse 2}O LORD my God, I cried to You for help, and You healed me. ^{Verse 3}O LORD, You pulled me up from Sheol; You spared me from descending into the Pit. ^{Verse 4}Sing to the LORD, O you His saints, and praise His holy name. ^{Verse 5}For His anger is fleeting, but His favor lasts a lifetime. Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning. ^{Verse 6}In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.” ^{Verse 7}O LORD, You favored me; You made my mountain stand strong. When You hid Your face, I was dismayed. ^{Verse 8}To You, O LORD, I called, and I begged my Lord for mercy: ^{Verse 9}“What gain is there in my bloodshed, in my descent to the Pit? Will the dust praise You? Will it proclaim Your faithfulness? ^{Verse 10}Hear me, O LORD, and have mercy; O LORD, be my helper.” ^{Verse 11}You turned my mourning into dancing; You peeled off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, ^{Verse 12}that my heart may sing Your praises and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks forever.
