Psalm 30 - ESV Online - Literal Word

PSALM 30

Joy Comes with the Morning

A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.
30:1

I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up

and have not let my foes rejoice over me. 2

O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,

and you have healed me. 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.
4

Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,

and give thanks to his holy name. 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.
6

As for me, I said in my prosperity,

“I shall never be moved.” 7

By your favor, O Lord,

you made my mountain stand strong;

you hid your face;

I was dismayed.
8

To you, O Lord, I cry,

and to the Lord I plead for mercy: 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? 10

Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!

O Lord, be my helper!”
11

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;

you have loosed my sackcloth

and clothed me with gladness, 12

that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.

O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
