Psalm 30

¹A Psalm.—A song of the dedication of the house of David. I exalt Thee, O Jehovah, For Thou hast drawn me up, and hast not let mine enemies rejoice over me.

²Jehovah my God, I have cried to Thee, And Thou dost heal me.

³Jehovah, Thou hast brought up from Sheol my soul, Thou hast kept me alive, From going down to the pit.

⁴Sing praise to Jehovah, ye His saints, And give thanks at the remembrance of His holiness,

⁵For—a moment is in His anger, Life is in His good-will, At even remaineth weeping, and at morn singing.

⁶And I—I have said in mine ease, ‘I am not moved—to the age.

⁷O Jehovah, in Thy good pleasure, Thou hast caused strength to remain for my mountain,’ Thou hast hidden Thy face—I have been troubled.

⁸Unto Thee, O Jehovah, I call, And unto Jehovah I make supplication.

⁹‘What gain is in my blood? In my going down unto corruption? Doth dust thank Thee? doth it declare Thy truth?

¹⁰Hear, O Jehovah, and favour me, O Jehovah, be a helper to me.’

¹¹Thou hast turned my mourning to dancing for me, Thou hast loosed my sackcloth, And girdest me with joy.

¹²So that honour doth praise Thee, and is not silent, O Jehovah, my God, to the age I thank Thee!
