PSALM 30
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
A Psalm and Song at the dedication of the house of David.
1Lord, I will thee extol, for thou
hast lifted me on high,
And over me thou to rejoice
mad'st not mine enemy.
2O thou who art the Lord my God,
I in distress to thee,
With loud cries lifted up my voice,
and thou hast healed me.
3O Lord, my soul thou hast brought up,
and rescu'd from the grave;
That I to pit should not go down,
alive thou didst me save.
4O ye that are his holy ones,
sing praise unto the Lord;
And give unto him thanks, when ye
his holiness record.
5For but a moment lasts his wrath;
life in his favour lies:
Weeping may for a night endure,
at morn doth joy arise.
6In my prosperity I said,
that nothing shall me move.
7O Lord, thou hast my mountain made
to stand strong by thy love:
But when that thou,
O gracious God,
didst hide thy face from me,
Then quickly was my prosp'rous state
turn'd into misery.
8Wherefore unto the Lord my cry
I caused to ascend:
My humble supplication
I to the Lord did send.
9What profit is there in my blood,
when I go down to pit?
Shall unto thee the dust give praise?
thy truth declare shall it?
10Hear, Lord, have mercy; help me, Lord:
11Thou turned hast my sadness
To dancing; yea, my sackcloth loos'd,
and girded me with gladness;
12That sing thy praise my glory may,
and never silent be.
O Lord my God, for evermore
I will give thanks to thee.

Psalms 30
30
A psalm of David. A psalm for the dedication of the Temple.
1I want to tell everyone how good you are, Lord, for you saved me, and you didn't let my enemies triumph over me.
2Lord, my God, I called out to you for help, and you have healed me.
3Lord, you rescued me from the grave, you brought me back to life, saving me from going down into the pit of death.
4You who trust the Lord, sing praises to him, and be thankful for his holy character!
5For his anger only lasts a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime. You may spend the night in tears, but happiness comes with the morning.
6When things were going well, I said, “Nothing will ever shake me!”
7Lord, when you showed me your favor I stood as strong as a mountain; when you turned away from me I was terrified.
8I called out to you for help, Lord. I asked the Lord for grace, saying,
9What would you gain if I die, if I go down into the pit of death? Would my dust praise you? Would it tell of your trustworthiness?
10Please listen to me, Lord, and be gracious to me! Lord, you are the one who helps me.
11You have turned my weeping into dancing. You have taken off my clothes of sackcloth#30:11. Wearing sackcloth was a sign of mourning. and dressed me in happiness,
12so I can sing praises to you and not keep quiet. Lord my God, I will thank you forever!
