Psalm 30

Joy in the Morning

A psalm; a dedication song for the house. Of David.

¹I will exalt you, Lord,
because you have lifted me up
and have not allowed my enemies
to triumph over me.
²Lord my God,
I cried to you for help, and you healed me.
³Lord, you brought me up from Sheol;
you spared me from among those
going down^[a] to the Pit.

⁴Sing to the Lord, you his faithful ones,
and praise his holy name.
⁵For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor, a lifetime.
Weeping may stay overnight,
but there is joy in the morning.

⁶When I was secure, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”
⁷Lord, when you showed your favor,
you made me stand like a strong mountain;
when you hid your face, I was terrified.
⁸Lord, I called to you;
I sought favor from my Lord:
⁹“What gain is there in my death,
if I go down to the Pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your truth?
¹⁰Lord, listen and be gracious to me;
Lord, be my helper.”

¹¹You turned my lament into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth
and clothed me with gladness,
¹²so that I can sing to you and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise you forever.

30:3 Some Hb mss, LXX, Theod, Orig, Syr; other Hb mss, Aq, Sym, Tg, Jer read from going down
