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)
