Psalm 30

Psalm 30:1[1] I will exalt you, Yahveh, because you have lifted me up and have not made my enemies happy over me.

Psalm 30:2 Yahveh my God, I cried to you for help, and you healed me.

Psalm 30:3 Yahveh, you brought my throat up from Sheol; you spared me from among those going down to the Hole.

Psalm 30:4 Sing to Yahveh, you his faithful ones, and praise his holy name

Psalm 30:5 because his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor, a lifetime. Weeping may stay overnight, but there is joy in the morning.

Psalm 30:6 When I was secure, I said, “I will not be shaken permanently.”

Psalm 30:7 Yahveh , when you showed your favor, you made me stand like a strong mountain; when you hid your face, I was terrified.

Psalm 30:8 Yahveh, I called to you; I sought favor from my master:

Psalm 30:9 “What gain would there be in my death, if I go down to the Pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your truth?

Psalm 30:10 Yahveh, listen and be gracious to me; Yahveh , be my helper.”

Psalm 30:11 You turned my lament into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and decked me out with gladness,

Psalm 30:12 so that I can sing to you and not be silent. Yahveh my God, I will praise you permanently.[2]
