Psalms 30

New International Version (NIV 11)

Switch Version:

¹ A psalm. A song. For the dedication of the temple.[48] Of David. I will exalt you, LORD, for you lifted me out of the depths and did not let my enemies gloat over me.

² LORD my God, I called to you for help, and you healed me.

³ You, LORD, brought me up from the realm of the dead; you spared me from going down to the pit.

⁴ Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people; praise his holy name.

⁵ For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

⁶ When I felt secure, I said, “I will never be shaken.”

⁷ LORD, when you favored me, you made my royal mountain[49] stand firm; but when you hid your face, I was dismayed.

⁸ To you, LORD, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy:

⁹ “What is gained if I am silenced, if I go down to the pit? Will the dust praise you? Will it proclaim your faithfulness?

¹⁰ Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me; LORD, be my help.”

¹¹ You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,

¹² that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent. LORD my God, I will praise you forever.
