Psalms 30

Joy in the Morning

A psalm; a dedication song for the house. Davidic.

1I will exalt You, Lord,

because You have lifted me up # Ps 3:3

and have not allowed my enemies

to triumph over me. # Ps 25:2; 35:19

2Lord my God,

I cried to You for help, and You healed me. # Ps 88:13

3Lord, You brought me up from Sheol; # Ps 86:13

You spared me from among those

going down # Some Hb mss, LXX, Theod, Orig, Syr; other Hb mss, Aq, Sym, Tg, Jer read from going down to the Pit. # Ps 28:1; 88:4; 143:7

4Sing to Yahweh, you His faithful ones,

and praise His holy name. # Ps 50:5; 149:1

5For His anger lasts only a moment,

but His favor, a lifetime.

Weeping may spend the night,

but there is joy in the morning. # Ps 103:9; Is 54:7-8; 2Co 4:17

6When I was secure, I said,

“I will never be shaken.” # Ps 10:6; 62:2,6

7Lord, when You showed Your favor,

You made me stand like a strong mountain; # Ps 20:8

when You hid Your face, I was terrified. # Ps 104:29

8Lord, I called to You;

I sought favor from my Lord: # Ps 119:58

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? # Ps 6:5; 88:10-12

10Lord, listen and be gracious to me;

Lord, be my helper.” # Ps 4:1; 27:7

11You turned my lament into dancing;

You removed my sackcloth

and clothed me with gladness, # Ec 3:4; Is 61:10; Jr 31:13

12so that I can sing to You and not be silent.

Lord my God, I will praise You forever. # Ps 44:8; 108:1
