Psalms 30
30
Thanksgiving for Escaping Death
A psalm of David. A song for giving the Temple to the Lord.
1I will praise you, Lord,
because you rescued me.
You did not let my enemies laugh at me.
2Lord, my God, I prayed to you,
and you healed me.
3You lifted me out of the grave;
you spared me from going down to the place of the dead.
4Sing praises to the Lord, you who belong to him;
praise his holy name.
5His anger lasts only a moment,
but his kindness lasts for a lifetime.
Crying may last for a night,
but joy comes in the morning.
6When I felt safe, I said,
“I will never fear.”
7Lord, in your kindness you made my mountain safe.
But when you turned away, I was frightened.
8I called to you, Lord,
and asked you to have mercy on me.
9I said, “What good will it do if I die
or if I go down to the grave?
Dust cannot praise you;
it cannot speak about your truth.
10Lord, hear me and have mercy on me.
Lord, help me.”
11You changed my sorrow into dancing.
You took away my clothes of sadness,
and clothed me in happiness.
12I will sing to you and not be silent.
Lord, my God, I will praise you forever.

Psalm 30
A psalm by David sung at the dedication of the temple.
1I will honor you highly, O Lord,
because you have pulled me out ⌞of the pit⌟
and have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
2O Lord my God,
I cried out to you for help,
and you healed me.
3O Lord, you brought me up from the grave.
You called me back to life
from among those who had gone into the pit.
4Make music to praise the Lord, you faithful people who belong to him.
Remember his holiness by giving thanks.
5His anger lasts only a moment.
His favor lasts a lifetime.
Weeping may last for the night,
but there is a song of joy in the morning.
6When all was well with me, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”
7O Lord, by your favor you have made my mountain stand firm.
When you hid your face, I was terrified.
8I will cry out to you, O Lord.
I will plead to the Lord for mercy:
9“How will you profit if my blood is shed,
if I go into the pit?
Will the dust ⌞of my body⌟ give thanks to you?
Will it tell about your truth?”
10Hear, O Lord, and have pity on me!
O Lord, be my helper!
11You have changed my sobbing into dancing.
You have removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy
12so that my soul #30:12 Or “glory.” may praise you with music and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.
