Psalm 30, NEW AMERICAN STANDARD BIBLE
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

I will extol You, O LORD, for You have lifted me up,
And have not let my enemies rejoice over me.
 

2

O LORD my God,
I cried to You for help, and You healed me.
 

3

O LORD, You have brought up my soul from Sheol;
You have kept me alive, that I would not go down to the pit.
 

4

Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones,
And give thanks to His holy name.
 

5

For His anger is but for a moment,
His favor is for a lifetime;
Weeping may last for the night,
But a shout of joy comes in the morning.
 

6

Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,
“I will never be moved.”
 

7

O LORD, by Your favor You have made my mountain to
stand strong;
You hid Your face, I was dismayed.
 

8

To You, O LORD, I called,
And to the Lord I made supplication:
 

9

“What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise You?  Will it declare Your faithfulness?
 

10

“Hear, O LORD, and be gracious to me;
O LORD, be my helper.”
 

11

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness,
 

12

That my soul may sing praise to You and not be silent
O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
