Psalm 30:8-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 To you, O Lord, I cried,
and to the Lord I made supplication:
9 “What profit is there in my death,
if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it tell of your faithfulness?(A)
10 Hear, O Lord, and be gracious to me!
O Lord, be my helper!”[a]
11 You have turned my mourning into dancing;
you have taken off my sackcloth
and clothed me with joy,(B)
12 so that my soul[b] may praise you and not be silent.
O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever.(C)
