You Have Turned My Mourning into Dancing
A Psalm. A Song at the Dedication of the House. Of David.
30 I will (A)exalt You, O Yahweh, for You have (B)lifted me up,
And have not let my (C)enemies be glad over me.
2 O Yahweh my God,
I (D)cried to You for help, and You (E)healed me.
3 O Yahweh, You have (F)brought up my soul from Sheol;
You have kept me alive, [a]that I would not (G)go down to the pit.
4 (H)Sing praise to Yahweh, you (I)His holy ones,
And (J)give thanks for the (K)remembrance of His holy name.
5 For (L)His anger is but for a moment,
His (M)favor is for a lifetime;
Weeping may (N)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 (O)never be shaken.”
7 O Yahweh, by Your favor You have made my mountain to stand strong;
You (P)hid Your face, I was dismayed.
8 To You, O Yahweh, I called,
And to the Lord I made supplication:
9 “What profit is there in my blood, if I (Q)go down to the pit?
Will the (R)dust praise You? Will it declare Your truth?
10 “(S)Hear, O Yahweh, and be gracious to me;
O Yahweh, be my (T)helper.”
11 You have turned for me (U)my mourning into dancing;
You have (V)loosed my sackcloth and girded me with (W)gladness,
12 That my [b](X)glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O Yahweh my God, I will (Y)give thanks to You forever.
Tsadhe
18 Their (A)heart cried out to the Lord,
“O (B)wall of the daughter of Zion,
Let your (C)tears run down like a river day and night;
Give yourself no relief;
Let [a]your eyes not be still.
Qoph
19 Arise, cry aloud in the (D)night
At the head of the night watches;
(E)Pour out your heart like water
Before the presence of the Lord;
Lift up your hands to Him
For the (F)life of your infants
Who are (G)faint because of hunger
At the head of every street.”
Resh
20 See, O Yahweh, and look!
With (H)whom have You dealt thus?
Should women (I)eat their [b]offspring,
The infants who were [c]born healthy?
Should (J)priest and prophet be killed
In the sanctuary of the Lord?
Shin
21 On the ground in the streets
Lie (K)young and old;
My (L)virgins and my young men
Have fallen by the sword.
You have killed them in the day of Your anger;
You have slaughtered, (M)not sparing.

Jesus Casts Out an Unclean Demon
31 And (A)He came down to (B)Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and He was teaching them on the Sabbath; 32 and (C)they were amazed at His teaching, for (D)His [a]message was with authority. 33 And in the synagogue there was a man [b]possessed by the spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice, 34 “[c]Let us alone! [d](E)What do we have to do with You, Jesus the (F)Nazarene? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are—(G)the Holy One of God!” 35 But Jesus (H)rebuked it, saying, “Be quiet and come out of him!” And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst of the people, it came out of him without doing him any harm. 36 And amazement came upon them all, and they were talking with one another saying, “What is [e]this message? For (I)with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits and they come out.” 37 And (J)the report about Him was spreading into every place in the surrounding district.
