Psalms 30:2-12 ▼

2 O YHWH my God, I cried for help to You, and You healed me.

3 O YHWH, You have brought up my soul from Sheol; from my going down to the Pit, You have kept me alive.

4 Make music to YHWH, His faithful ones, and praise His holy name.

5 For a moment is His anger; for a lifetime is His favor. In the night lodges weeping, and in the morning, joy.

6 And I said in my prosperity, “I will not be shaken forever.”

7 O YHWH, by Your favor You made my mountain stand strong; You have hidden Your face—I was dismayed.

8 To You, O YHWH, I called out, and to my Lord I made supplication.

9 “What profit is in my blood, in my going down to the Pit? Will the dust confess You? Will it declare Your truth?

10 Hear, O YHWH, and have mercy on me; O YHWH, be the One giving help to me.”

11 You have turned my mourning to dancing for me; You have opened my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,

12 so that my glory will sing praise to you, and not be silent. O YHWH, my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
