PSALM 30


I will exalt you, Lord, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me. 
Lord my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me. 
You, Lord, brought me up from the realm of the dead;
you spared me from going down to the pit. 
Sing the praises of the Lord, you his faithful people;
praise his holy name. 
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. 
When I felt secure, I said,“I will never be shaken.” 
Lord, when you favored me, you made my royal mountain stand firm;
but when you hid your face, I was dismayed. 
To you, Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: “What is gained if I am silenced,
if I go down to the pit? 
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness? 
Hear, Lord, and be merciful to me; Lord, be my help.” 
You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy, 
that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
Lord my God, I will praise you forever.
