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.

Psalms 30
30
A psalm of David. A psalm for the dedication of the Temple.
1I want to tell everyone how good you are, Lord, for you saved me, and you didn't let my enemies triumph over me.
2Lord, my God, I called out to you for help, and you have healed me.
3Lord, you rescued me from the grave, you brought me back to life, saving me from going down into the pit of death.
4You who trust the Lord, sing praises to him, and be thankful for his holy character!
5For his anger only lasts a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime. You may spend the night in tears, but happiness comes with the morning.
6When things were going well, I said, “Nothing will ever shake me!”
7Lord, when you showed me your favor I stood as strong as a mountain; when you turned away from me I was terrified.
8I called out to you for help, Lord. I asked the Lord for grace, saying,
9What would you gain if I die, if I go down into the pit of death? Would my dust praise you? Would it tell of your trustworthiness?
10Please listen to me, Lord, and be gracious to me! Lord, you are the one who helps me.
11You have turned my weeping into dancing. You have taken off my clothes of sackcloth#30:11. Wearing sackcloth was a sign of mourning. and dressed me in happiness,
12so I can sing praises to you and not keep quiet. Lord my God, I will thank you forever!
