Psalms 30:1-12
[1]I will exalt you, lord, for you rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me.
[2]O lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you restored my health.
[3]You brought me up from the grave, O lord. You kept me from falling into the pit of death.
[4]Sing to the lord, all you godly ones! Praise his holy name.
[5]For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.
[6]When I was prosperous, I said, “Nothing can stop me now!”
[7]Your favor, O lord, made me as secure as a mountain. Then you turned away from me, and I was shattered.
[8]I cried out to you, O lord. I begged the Lord for mercy, saying,
[9]“What will you gain if I die, if I sink into the grave? Can my dust praise you? Can it tell of your faithfulness?
[10]Hear me, lord, and have mercy on me. Help me, O lord.”
[11]You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy,
[12]that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!
