Psalm 30
Joy in the Morning
A psalm; a dedication song for the house. Of David.
1 I will exalt you, LORD,
because you have lifted me up b
and have not allowed my enemies
to triumph over me. c
I cried to you for help, and you healed me. d
3 LORD, you brought me up from Sheol; e
you spared me from among those
4 Sing to the LORD, you his faithful ones,
and praise his holy name. g
5 For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor, a lifetime.
Weeping may stay overnight,
but there is joy in the morning. h
“I will never be shaken.” i
7 LORD, when you showed your favor,
you made me stand like a strong mountain; j
when you hid your face, I was terrified. k
I sought favor from my Lord: l
9 “What gain is there in my death,
if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your truth? m
10 LORD, listen and be gracious to me;
LORD, be my helper.” n
11 You turned my lament into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness, o
12 so that I can sing to you and not be silent.
LORD my God, I will praise you forever. p
