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
Thanksgiving for Answered Prayer
A psalm; a song for the dedication of the house.#Or “temple” Of David.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
1I will exalt you, O Yahweh,
because you have drawn me up,
and have not made my enemies rejoice over me.
2O Yahweh, my God,
I cried for help to you,
and you healed me.
3O Yahweh, you have brought my life up from Sheol.
You preserved me alive
from among those going down #According to the Kethib; the reading tradition (Qere) reads “so I would not go down” to the pit.
4Sing praises to Yahweh, you his faithful ones,
and give thanks to his holy fame.#Literally “to the fame of his holiness”
5For there is a moment in his anger;
there is a lifetime in his favor.
Weeping lodges for the evening,
but in the morning comes rejoicing.
6But as for me, I had said in my prosperity,
“I shall not be moved ever.”
7O Yahweh, by your favor
you caused my strong mountain to stand.
You hid your face. I was bewildered.
8To you, O Yahweh, I called,
and to the Lord I pleaded for grace saying,
9“What gain is there in my death,#Literally “blood”
in my going down into the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?
10“O Yahweh, hear and be gracious to me.
O Yahweh, be my helper.”
11You have turned my wailing into my dancing.
You have removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with joy
12so that I#Literally “my glory” may sing praises to you
and not be quiet.
O Yahweh, my God,
I will give thanks to you forever.
