Psalm 30
Smith's Literal Translation Par ▾ 

You Turned My Mourning into Dancing

1Chanting a song of consecration of the house of David. I will exalt thee, O Jehovah, for thou didst draw me out, and thou didst not gladden mine enemies to me.

2O Jehovah my God, I cried to thee, and thou wilt heal me.

3O Jehovah, thou broughtest up my soul from hades: thou didst save me alive from those going down to the pit.

4Play on the harp to Jehovah, ye his godly ones, and praise at the remembrance of his holiness.

5For a moment in his anger; life in his acceptance: weeping shall lodge in the evening, and rejoicing for the morning.

6And I said in my security, I shall not be moved forever.

7O Jehovah, in thy good will thou didst cause strength to stand for my mountain: thou didst cover thy face, I was in trepidation.

8To thee, O Jehovah, will I call, and to Jehovah will I make supplication.

9What the profit in my blood in my going down to the pit? shall the dust praise thee? shall it announce thy truth?

10Hear, O Jehovah, and pity me: O Jehovah, be a helper to me.

11Thou didst turn my wailing to dancing to me: thou didst loose my sackcloth, and thou wilt gird me with gladness;

12So that glory shall play on the harp to thee, and shall not be silent O Jehovah my God, I will praise thee forever.
