Psalms 30

King James Version

¹A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David. I will extol thee, O Lord; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me. ²O Lord my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me. ³O Lord, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. ⁴Sing unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness. ⁵For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. ⁶And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved. ⁷Lord, by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled. ⁸I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication. ⁹What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth? ¹⁰Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my helper. ¹¹Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness; ¹²To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Berean Standard Bible

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