Psalms 30

¹I praise you, LORD, because you have saved me and kept my enemies from gloating over me.

²I cried to you for help, O LORD my God, and you healed me;

³you kept me from the grave. I was on my way to the depths below, but you restored my life.

⁴Sing praise to the LORD, all his faithful people! Remember what the Holy One has done, and give him thanks!

⁵His anger lasts only a moment, his goodness for a lifetime. Tears may flow in the night, but joy comes in the morning.

⁶I felt secure and said to myself, "I will never be defeated."

⁷You were good to me, LORD; you protected me like a mountain fortress. But then you hid yourself from me, and I was afraid.

⁸I called to you, LORD; I begged for your help:

⁹"What will you gain from my death? What profit from my going to the grave? Are dead people able to praise you? Can they proclaim your unfailing goodness?

¹⁰Hear me, LORD, and be merciful! Help me, LORD!"

¹¹You have changed my sadness into a joyful dance; you have taken away my sorrow and surrounded me with joy.

¹²So I will not be silent; I will sing praise to you. LORD, you are my God; I will give you thanks forever.
